Ekiti State Commissioner for Education, Dr Bimpe Aderiye, has said that the extension classes organised for final-year Senior Secondary School students in public schools will keep them busy while preparing for their examinations.
A statement by the commissioner made available in Ado Ekiti on Thursday showed that the extension classes were slated to begin on Thursday.
The classes would, however, begin on Friday after the Eid-el-Fitr holidays, which ended on Thursday.
Aderiye stated, “The programme was arranged to give teachers undivided attention for the SS three students who are preparing for the forthcoming WASSCE examination that will commence in the first week of May 2024.”
The commissioner said that the second term holiday for students holding between 8th April and 29th April would not affect the SS three students.
She urged parents and guardians “to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the state government to keep the students busy and primed for their approaching external
examinations by releasing their children and wards for the extension programme”.
Aderiye reiterated the commitment of the state government to the provision of quality education and the sustenance of excellent performance in all external examinations.
