Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has
approved the reopening of primary and secondary
schools in the state for the completion of the
2019/2020 academic session as well as the
commencement of the 2020/2021 new academic
session.

The State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary
Education, Chief Patrick Ukah in a statement in
Asaba, said JSS 1 and 2 students as well as their
counterparts in SS 1 and SS 2 will resume on
Monday, September 28, 2020 to enable them to
commence their 2nd term examinations which will be
concluded on October 9.

Ukah said that primaries four and five pupils will
resume on October 5 in order for them to write their
2nd term examinations which will be concluded on
October 9, stressing that the 2nd term examinations
will be waived for pupils in primaries one to three,
while boarding students will resume on Sunday,
September 27.

He said the resumption date for the 1st term
2020/2021 academic session for all pupils and
students in primary and secondary schools is on
Monday, October 12 and will terminate on December
18, 2020 while the date for the resumption for 2nd
term is January 4, 2021, and will end on March 31,
2021.

Ukah said 3rd term would commence from April 12
and end on August 13, 2021, explaining that the long
duration for the term was to give sufficient time to
cover rolled over content from the last session, inter-
house sports and mid-term break which were not
applicable to other terms.

He added that the resumption for all nursery/pre-
primary KG one to three pupils have been deferred to
January 2021 and advised parents and guardians to
avail themselves of the resumption dates to prepare
their children and wards.
