Edo State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB) Chairman, Mrs. Ozavize Salami, has said public primary and junior secondary schools across the state will return to five-day school week as school resumes for academic activities on September 11, 2023.
In a statement, Salami said all public primary and junior secondary schools would commence in-class learning from the first day of resumption. She said: “In line with the academic calendar released by the state Ministry of Education for the 2023-2024 academic session, all public primary and junior secondary schools are to commence in-class learning from the first day of resumption on September 11, 2023.
“As part of efforts by the state government to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal on citizens, SUBEB had, in June 2023, implemented a hybrid school programme that combined three days in-class learning, with two days remote learning.”
This was possible because of the state’s sustained investment in the EdoBEST@Home programme, which has proven valuable in disruptive times.”
