The Ogun State Government has announced January five as the official resumption date for public primary and secondary schools across the state. The announcement marks the end of the holiday break and signals the commencement of academic activities for the new term.
The Commissioner for Education stated that the decision was reached after consultations with school administrators and education stakeholders to ensure readiness. According to the government, schools have been directed to complete all necessary preparations including sanitation, staffing, and safety measures before students return.
Parents and guardians were advised to ensure that their children resume promptly to avoid missing critical academic work, particularly for students preparing for external examinations. The government emphasized that punctual resumption is essential for maintaining the academic calendar and minimizing disruptions.
School heads have also been instructed to enforce discipline and uphold standards, with particular attention to attendance, teaching quality, and student welfare. The state reiterated its commitment to improving learning outcomes through monitoring and teacher support programs.
In recent years Ogun State has invested in classroom renovations, teacher recruitment, and digital learning initiatives. Officials said the resumption provides an opportunity to consolidate these efforts and further enhance the quality of education.
The government assured parents that security arrangements remain in place around school environments and urged communities to collaborate in safeguarding students. The announcement has been welcomed by many parents eager for a return to structured learning after the holiday period.
