There are strong indications that the 36 states are taking cautious approaches to the reopening of schools for this year’s West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The Imo State Government, on its part, has stated that it was consulting with the stakeholders in the education sector, including parents on the best guidelines to adopt before reopening schools for the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Modestus Nwamkpa, Senior Special Assistant to the state governor on print media, told The Punch that the modalities would be reached before the students were recalled.
In Bayelsa State, government said the state government would take a position consistent with the Federal Government stand.
Mr Daniel Alabrah, the acting Chief Press Secretary to Bayelsa State Governor, in a chat with The Punch, stated this.
“The state government will take a position that will be consistent with whatever position the Federal Government has taken.”
Also, the Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, C-Don Adinuba, told The Punch that the state would follow the plan of the Federal Government.
The commissioner, reacting to a report that the state government had fixed August 3 for the reopening of its schools for primary six, JSS 3 and SSS 3 pupils, said, “It may be a tentative arrangement.”
