The Enugu State Government has suspended two school principals for prematurely closing their schools and sending students home ahead of the official closing date.
According to reports, the Boys Special Science School Agbani and the Girls Special Science School Agbani were closed by their principals well before the scheduled closing date of December 13, 2024.
The closures occurred on November 29 and December 2, with students, including those residing in the school hostels, being sent home.
A source within the Science Technical and Vocational Schools Management Board (STVSMB) revealed that the principals are now facing disciplinary action for their actions.
“What they did was highly unprofessional; parents were not expecting their children to return home so early,” said the source, who requested anonymity. “They acted without consulting the STVSMB, the body responsible for managing these schools.”
Efforts to reach Dr. Amaka Ngene, the Chairman of the Board, for comment were unsuccessful as at the time of this publication.
