It is a new normal in school system world over. Worst hit are owners of private schools in Nigeria.
The worst case scenario are those whose schools are in States tagged civil Servant states. Such as Ekiti, kogi and few others.
Reports from schools shows that, there is a looming crisis arising from misunderstanding over the appropriateness of a call on parents to pay tuition for an abridged third term calendar.
Here are some of the grounds why it is pertinent;
a. Most private schools failed to embark on aggresive school fee drive in March. Therefore, couldnt raise fund to pay staff salary. So, 6 months teachers salary, if paid, would generate a huge economic positives.
b. The need to motivate and give a sense of reassurance to teachers and other staffers that their statutory benefits and rewards is of concern. on a compassionate ground, they should be paid.
c. Aside a few weeks of general lockdown, most businesses took off immediately, except schools, and the aviation sector.
d.

I don't understand why third term should be abridged by some state governments.

Aside from the fees issue, what the the scheme of work for third term? Won't the students need that knowledge?

Besides, some schools were yet to write second term exams
