Minister of Education Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau will today
meet with state education commissioners on the possibility of extending
the current school holiday as a precautionary measure to check spread of
the Ebola Virus Disease.
Shekarau’s spokesman, Sule Ya’u Sule,
told Daily Trust yesterday that participants at the meeting would
deliberate on the matter before the government makes any pronouncement
on it.
“The minister has got the mandate of the president to meet
with all education commissioners from the 36 states of the federation
to discuss the issue and come up with a stand,” he said.
According
to Ya’u, the matter concerns all the country, hence the need to allow
stakeholders in the sector to analyze the situation and decide on it.
“The
stakeholders will at the end of the meeting come up with a
recommendation upon which government will decide whether to extend the
summer holiday or not,” he said. Pupils and students of primary and
secondary schools nationwide are expected to resume next month.
