Some private schools in Lagos have announced closure from tomorrow, Thursday, March 19, without instruction to do so from the Ministry of Education.
This is coming as the Federal Government announced five new cases of coronavirus in the state, bringing the national total to eight.
Schools still have two weeks to end the current term and this is a period many of them conduct the second term examination.
However, Head of Public Affairs Unit, Lagos State Ministry of Education, Mr. Kayode Abayomi, noted that the government had not announced school closure.
But some of the high-profile schools are suspending examinations to close immediately.
The schools include Greensprings School, which has branches in Anthony, Ikoyi, and Awoyaya; and Lagos Preparatory and Secondary School, Ikoyi.
While Greensprings is closing March 18, LPSS shut down on Wednesday.
Both schools have opted for e-learning for pupils while they are at home.
Greensprings School’s Head of Admissions, Mrs. Oluranti Bankole said: “Learning will now be done online using the virtual learning platform and video conferencing. She added that the school had adopted the WHO crisis management grid for COVID-19.
In a notice to parents, LPSS said the closure was a result of the spread of the Coronavirus and the school’s international makeup.
