The
Federal Ministry of Education has presented a detailed proposal on its
plan to reopen schools across the country to the National Assembly. The
Minister of State for Education, Mr Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, stated this
on Tuesday when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Basic and
Secondary Education.
Nwajiuba
however refused to give details of the proposal, saying some people
would misconstrue it as the ministry’s guidelines for schools reopening.
According
to him, children are asymptomatic carriers. Nobody can prove whether
they can infect one another even the health experts. He stated that
whatever we know about the virus is based on what we have read.
He
mentioned that the guidelines suggest how the country can still move
the education sector forward =even in the face of this pandemic
“We
don’t want to make it (proposal) known at this period so that some
people will not take our proposal for the guidelines for schools
reopening.
He
kicked against the idea of some states reopening schools and others
making plans to reopen schools in their states as it is against the
guidelines of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
The
vice-chairman of the panel, Senator Akon Eyakenyi, who presided over
the meeting, expressed the fears that the academic calendar could be
distorted in public schools where no visible arrangement was being made
to teach the children at home unlike their counterparts in private
schools.
