“In the document we have provided, we have suggested how we can move our Education sector forward in this pandemic period. We don’t want to make it known at this period so that some people will not take our proposal for guidelines for schools’ reopening.
The Federal Government has said it had presented a proposal for the reopening of schools to the National Assembly.
Nwajiuba said the ministry had presented a document to the National Assembly, proposing safety measures, before schools would be reopened. She said public schools’ pupils were made to rely on educational programmes on radio and television stations whereas they tuned to stations showing cartoons whenever there was no adult to guide them.
“If government can give guidelines for the reopening of churches and mosques, stakeholders in the Education sector could also hold a meeting with the government to agree on guidelines for schools’ reopening. “We have to be innovative in our approach to save our educational sector in this country because nobody knows how long the disease will be with us.”
