…As probe of Dubai sex scandal continues
The Lagos State Government has ordered the reopening of all Chrisland Schools shut in the wake of the controversies that erupted as a result of unbecoming attitude of some students of the school.
The order was contained in a press statement by the Lagos State Commissioner of Education, Folasade Adefisayo, on Saturday morning, April 23, 2022.
The reopening is coming six days after the state government ordered all Chrisland Schools in the state shut on April 18, 2022.
Some pupils of the school who had gone on a trip to Dubai to participate in the World School Games between March 10 and 13, 2022, reportedly got entangled in immoral act.
This led to the suspension of a female student indefinitely by the school authorities which held that she was “a major actor” in the whole episode.
The statement read, “The Lagos State Ministry of Education has directed that all Chrisland Schools shut for alleged misconduct of some students in Dubai be reopened from Monday, April 25th, 2022.
“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 State Government shut the schools for the 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 scheduled psychosocial support for the students.
“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.
“Besides, the Ministry will launch the reviewed guidelines/protocols governing private and public schools across the state within the next one month.”
