Kwara State Government has announced that 10 schools affected by hijaab controversy in Ilorin, the State capital will resume academic activities on Monday, April 12.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Mary Adeosun on Sunday.

Adeosun said the decision to reopen the schools earlier than others was based on the need to ensure students cover what they might have missed due to partial closure of the schools.

“This is to inform parents/guardians and teachers that the 2020/2021 Third Term Accademic Session for the 10 schools affected in the recent hijaab debate starts on Monday, 12th April 2021.” The statement reads.

“This is part of the government’s efforts to bring the students in these schools up to speed in whatever they may have missed when their schools were shut. This is especially necessary for students preparing for external examinations.

“The resumption date for other schools not affected by the brief closure of schools is Monday 26th, 2021, as had earlier been communicated.

“All the teachers and staff of the affected schools should resume duty and commence classes immediately.

“The Monitoring and Inspection team of the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development will be going round to ascertain compliance.”‌
