Lagos State Government says it reopened all Chrisland Schools to ensure students resume learning when the new term begins on Monday, April 25.
The school was closed on April 18 after it was revealed that some pupils engaged in sexual acts during a school trip to Dubai, UAE.
Commissioner for education Folasade Adefisayo said in a circular obtained by the media on Saturday that the government and the school’s parents teachers association will be working on psychosocial support for the students.
“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,” she said.
“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.”
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 future occurrences.
