Ministry of Education disowns school resumption calendar

The school resumption timetable making rounds on social media has been disowned by the Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) Unit of the Lagos State Ministry of Education.

While Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had said that the resumption date he announced was tentative, the supposed 2020/2021 academic calendar states that the first term of the session will start on September 21 and end on December 18. January 11, 2021 and May 3 were also given as the start dates for second and third terms.

However OEQA spokesman Emmanuel Olaniran in a statement released on Monday August 31, said the calendar did not emanate from his office.
