Sports Festival Won’t Disrupt Primary, Secondary Schools’ Academic Calendar — Edo Govt

By Daily sports on March 24, 2021

The Edo State government has assured residents that the Edo 2020 National Sports Festival will not disrupt the academic calendar of primary and secondary schools in the state in any way.

Mr Osarodion Ogie, who is the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), gave the assurance in a statement on Monday.

He urged residents to disregard information that was being circulated that the academic activities in the schools had been adjusted on account of the sports festival.

“The activities of the festival do not in any way affect the school calendar. Management of schools, both public and private, parents and pupils are to adhere to the calendar earlier released, upon which they have been conducting their activities and disregard any contrary information,” the SSG said.

He added, “Primary and secondary schools are to go on the Easter break on Friday, April 2nd, and resume on Tuesday, April 6th.

“The second term examination holds from April 26th to 29th. The schools are to go on vacation on April 30th and resume for third term on May 10th.”

The clarification by the state government came two days after it met with the Federal Ministry of Youths and Sports Development where some guidelines were agreed upon for the National Sports Festival. (Channels TV)
