Cross River schools to reopen June 16

.Cross River State Government is set to embark on a “trial resumption of schools” on June 16.

In a statement by the State Commissioner for Education, Godwin Amanke, gave guidelines of the students resumption.

”21 years of uninterrupted democracy has taken Nigeria far”

The Statement reads “Students will wear face masks and face shields to school. Once at the school gate, the children will wash their hands and legs. Hand sanitisers will also be used. When the children enter their classrooms, they will remove their face masks and use only their face shields so as to get enough ventilation.

“Upon closure, they will put on their masks and go back home. Teachers will wear the same and observe coronavirus protocols in the classrooms.”

According to the Punch, Gov. Ben Ayade, said personal protective equipment were produced at the state-owned garment factory for distribution to the students, who have been at home since March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ayade said,  “For Cross River State, we have a strong commitment that our children cannot continue to stay at home. The more they stay, the more the moral decadence, the more indiscipline, the more they become lazy of getting back to school and getting started because for every stage in life, there is a time where you have to be in class and once the children miss that delicate phase, it becomes very difficult.
