Schools Can’t Resume June 1st – Presidency Aid Announced

The President actually addressed the issue of the opening of the economy gradually. Until that is done, we cannot foresee or immediately tell you when all the schools will be reopened.

“It will not be proper for us to simply give you a date. It has to be in tandem with these opening terms. We don’t want to put our children at risk. None of these schools can function on their own without the society.

“On the question of children promoting to the next class, those exams will happen when we are satisfied that the children have learnt what is enough for them to move.

“For those who are in the exit classes of junior basic and senior secondary schools, we are preparing them and will continue to.

“This will go on until we are sure that they are equipped for the external examinations.

“The West African Examinations Council has not cancelled their external exams. It was postponed indefinitely.

“This indefinite nature is so that we can get a definite date. Students will still have to go and take those exams when we are sure that we have taken good care of the pupils.”

But wait do you know?

Some schools like Rivers State University, Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Anchor University, among others have already embarrassed the e-learning (ie virtual/online learning). Hopefully some other schools will join soon.

But some critics says the rise of online (virtual) learning will pose a threat to students who can’t afford buying MOBILE DATA. Some thinks there will be a lot of loopholes in the teaching as some lecturers/teachers are not computer literate.

While the debate is on, what do you think? Do you want All Schools to embrace the e-learning? DO you think this is the best thing we need this period.
