The Lagos State Ministry of Education has directed that all Chrisland Schools shut in the wake of sexual misconduct of some students while on a trip to Dubai should be reopened from Monday 25th April 2022.
A statement signed by the state Commissioner of Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, said that the reopening of the school follows a review of the ongoing administrative investigation into the sexual misconduct saga.
The statement further said that the role of the school is being assessed viz-a-viz its operational guidelines during the unfortunate incident.
“While all agencies of the state government continue facets of the investigation, the Ministry seeks to ensure students of the school are not denied access to learning when the new term resumes fully on Monday 25th April.
“The Lagos State Government earlier shut down order was initiated to ensure the safety of the students and all category of staff of the schools and to ensure unhindered investigation.
“The Ministry of Education, other relevant agencies of the state in conjunction with the school 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 looked into to identify safety gaps and avert the occurrence of the incident.”
