Flood: Bayelsa govt extends school resumption date
Bayelsa State Government, through the Ministry of Education, has extended the 2024 flood break resumption date by one week.
This extension is to allow flood water that took over most schools in the state to subside.
DAILY POST recalls that the state government had earlier scheduled the schools to resume from flood break on Monday, November 18, but had to extend it to Monday, November 25, 2024.
In a circular on Friday, the Permanent Secretary of the state’s Ministry of Education, Simon-Peter Okene, said a new date had been fixed for the resumption of Public, Private Secondary, and Primary schools.
“The extension time is a result of the current flood situation observed in a reasonable number of school premises across the state.
“Government wishes to charge operators of schools in the private sector to adhere strictly to officially approved School Calendar in the State. Stakeholders in the educational sector should remain vigilant and ensure that all school safety regulations including cutting of grasses and fumigation of school premises and buildings are carried out before resumption.
“Also, the Government wishes to empathize with all Bayelsans who have been affected in one way or the other by flood,” He said.
