Africa Press-Nigeria:
The Nigerian House of Representatives has written the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, on things he should make sure were done before the resumption of schools.
Among the things the House listed was that the minister should ensure all schools in the country, whether public or private are fumigated before they reopening.
They also asked Adamu to see that the online teaching, recently introduced to keep the students busy, got to those in the rural areas.
In a letter the Chairman, House Committee on Education, Julius Ihonvbere directed to the Education Minister, which was sighted by newsmen at the weekend, the Reps members, drummed on the need for all schools (public and private), to sensitise their pupils/students on the dangers of COVID-19 and its attendant consequences and ways they could protect themselves from contracting the virus.
The lawmakers said the resolutions reached should be included into plans by the ministry before re-opening the schools in order to “prevent our pupils/students from being infected with the virus”.
