Ekiti extends long term holidays for primary, secondary schools

The Ekiti State Government on Saturday announced an extention of the current long term holidays for students in public and private primary and secondary schools.

This is contained in a statement by the state Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Jide Egunjobi.

The commisioner said all schools would now resume on Sept. 24, as against Sept. 14 earlier resumption date.

According to the commissioner, the extension of the holidays has become necessary to allow the various schools conduct interviews for fresh students across the state.

Besides, he said the extension would also allow for consolidation of the school system before resumption of pupils and students.

The commissioner implored teachers and workers in various schools to brace up for better service delivery as they awaited the new resumption day. (NAN)
