The Jigawa State Ministry of Basic Education has confirmed that both public and private schools across the state will resume for the third term of the 2024/2025 academic session on Monday, April 15.
This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Basic Education, Dr. Lawan Danzomo, during a press briefing on Saturday in Dutse, the state capital.
According to Danzomo, students in boarding schools are expected to resume a day earlier, on Sunday, while day students will return to classrooms on Monday.
“The resumption marks the beginning of the final term of the academic session. Students are expected to make the most of this period to prepare for their final exams,” he said.
He encouraged parents and guardians to ensure their wards return to school promptly, assuring them that all necessary facilities have been provided to ensure a smooth learning experience.
“We have provided all the necessary teaching aids that will facilitate effective teaching and learning in schools,” the commissioner stated.
Danzomo further urged teachers to report to duty without delay and begin teaching immediately.
He said the ministry has deployed staff across the state to monitor both the resumption and the immediate commencement of lessons.
“We have posted our staff to monitor the resumption and commencement of lessons in schools across the state,” he added.
“The ministry’s decision to post staff to monitor schools will help ensure that lessons commence immediately and that the academic session stays on track,” he explained.
Highlighting the importance of consistent school attendance, Danzomo appealed to parents to support their children’s education by promoting punctuality and regular attendance.
“Parents and guardians are encouraged to support their children by ensuring they attend school regularly and punctually. This will enable students to maximise the teaching and learning process,” he said.
He reiterated the ministry’s commitment to quality education, noting that “This will likely have a positive impact on students’ academic performance.”
Dr. Danzomo concluded by noting that the resumption directive applies uniformly to all public and private schools in the state, adding that the ministry remains focused on maintaining consistency and quality in education delivery.
