Ekiti State Government yesterday extended the current long term holidays for students in public and private primary and secondary schools.
Education, Science and Technology Commissioner, Jide Egunjobi, said in a statement in Ado Ekiti that all schools would now resume on Sept. 24, as against Sept. 14.
The commissioner said the extension of the holidays became necessary to allow the various schools conduct interviews for fresh students across the state.
Besides, he said the extension would also allow for consolidation of the school system before resumption of pupils and students.
Consequently, all parents, guardians and other stakeholders in the education sector are urged to take note of the extension and disseminate the information appropriately.
The commissioner implored teachers and workers in various schools to brace up for better service delivery as they await the new resumption day.
