Kwara govt to schools: Comply with COVID-19 guidelines or face sanction
The Kwara State Ministry of Education, on Wednesday, threatened to sanction any school that failed to follow the COVID-19 guidelines during school resumption.
The Ministry’s Director, Curriculum and Assessment, Mr. Timothy Ogunwole, reiterated the warnings during inspection and monitoring of the level of compliance in accordance with NCDC and Federal Ministry of Education rules and regulations.
Ogunwole said the reopening of schools did not mean the end of COVID-19, but rather to allow exit classes to write WAEC, NECO, BECE and other examinations.
He added, “Government will not take any excuses that is going to jeopardize its efforts in curtailing transmission of Covid-19 but rather punish anybody that violate the guidelines.”
He also enjoined schools administrators to provide protective kits and also maintain physical distancing among the students.
