The Ogun State Government has announced a new date for 2nd term resumption of primary, secondary and technical schools in the State.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the State Government has also asked parents and guardians to sign an undertaking before their children and wards could be allowed in schools.
Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology in the State, Prof Abayomi Arigbabu made this known in a statement on Sunday.
According to the statement, instead of the earlier announced January 4th resumption date, schools are now to resume on Monday, January 10, 2022.
Arigbabu said the new date became necessary due to a series of pre-resumption activities put up by the Education Ministry to further reposition education in the state.
The statement had it that it was necessary for parents and guardians to sign the undertaking that they would willingly abide by all laid down rules and regulations in schools in the State, following recent occurrences.
Recently, some schools in Ogun State went under attack as parents and students hired thugs to brutalise teachers, who must have punished their children for any unruly behaviour.
Also, some videos went viral recently wherein young schoolgirls were seen smoking and videoing themselves.
To put an end to any deviant act in schools and technical colleges, the Ministry of Education asked students and their parents or guardians to visit their schools between January 4 and 10 to sign an undertaking of willingness to abide by the laid down rules and regulations while also supporting and enforcing discipline in schools.
