By In the wake of the controversies surrounding the sexual conduct perpetrated by some students of Chrisland Schools as captured in a now-viral video, the Lagos State Government has ordered the reopening of the ill-fated elite school.
The Commissioner for Education in the state, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen on Saturday morning.
It would be recalled that the Lagos State Government Govern had shut down all branches of the Chrisland Schools in the state indefinitely. This came in response to an immoral act conducted by a now-suspended 10-year-old female pupil and her colleagues who took part a truth-or-dare game, while representing the school at the World School Games in Dubai.
Amid ongoing investigation into circumstances surrounding the conduct, the Lagos State Ministry of Education has decided to reopen the school from Monday, April 25.
“The directive follows a review of the ongoing administrative investigation into the incident. Besides, it is to ensure that students are not denied access to learning when the new term begins on Monday 25th April, 2022,” the statement reads in part.
“The State Government shut the schools for safety of students and the staff and to ensure unhindered investigation of the incident.
“The Ministry of Education and other relevant agencies of the State, in conjunction with the school’s Parent Teachers Association, will be working on a scheduled psychosocial support for the students.”
The Commissioner added that an extensive assessment of the school’s procedure, especially on external trips and excursions, is being made to identify safety gaps and prevent such incidents.
