Just 24 hours after the Edo State government announced the postponement of school resumption, Kano State has followed suit, delaying the start of primary and secondary schools for the 2024/2025 academic session.
The decision was announced on Saturday in a statement from the Ministry of Education’s Director of Public Enlightenment, Balarabe Kiru, citing “urgent reasons” for the change, though specifics were not provided.
According to the state’s Commissioner for Education, Umar Doguwa, the postponement is necessary to ensure a more conducive learning environment for students.
However, no new resumption date has been set, and it will be communicated at a later time.
“We regret to inform pupils, students, and parents that the previously scheduled school reopening on September 8th and 9th, 2024, has been postponed,” Doguwa said in the statement.
Kiru urged students, parents, and guardians to remain patient during this period and acknowledged the potential inconvenience the delay may cause.
As the government works to address the underlying issues, the hope is that the new academic year will begin in a more favorable learning atmosphere.
