The Abia State Government has announced a postponement of the resumption date for both public and private schools in the state for the 2024/2025 academic session. Originally scheduled to begin earlier, the new resumption date aims to provide additional time for the government to implement key administrative and infrastructural plans that are critical for enhancing the quality of education in the state.

The decision to postpone the reopening of schools affects all levels of education, including primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions. The government cited several reasons for this change, including ongoing renovations in numerous schools across the state and the need to ensure that all necessary educational resources, such as teaching materials and learning aids, are adequately provided before students return to classrooms.

Additionally, the postponement is intended to align with recent adjustments in the academic calendar due to disruptions caused by events earlier in the year. By adjusting the resumption date, the government seeks to create a more streamlined academic calendar that would allow for uninterrupted teaching and learning throughout the session.

The Abia State Ministry of Education has assured parents, students, and educators that this decision was made in their best interest and that the additional time will be used effectively to improve the educational environment. The Ministry also noted that safety protocols, especially those related to health, will be reinforced during this period to ensure that schools are safe for all stakeholders.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use this extra time to prepare their children adequately for the new academic session. In addition, the Ministry has advised schools to adjust their internal schedules accordingly and to communicate any changes promptly to their students and parents.

The government has promised to provide regular updates regarding the new resumption date and any other relevant changes to ensure a smooth transition into the new academic year.
