Lagos state government led by Babajide Sanwo-Olu has directed that all Chrisland schools should be re-opened across the state.
Recall that Chrisland schools were shut down on April 18, 2022, by the State Government over the immoral act perpetuated by students of the school on a trip to Dubai for World School Games.
A parent of one of the students had claimed that her child was technically raped by the male students by giving her substance that made her join the sexual act.
Consequently, the school was shut down by Lagos state government over the controversies surrounding the sexual video by the students.
The Commissioner through a statement signed by her noted that the school’s Parent Teachers’ Association would be working on scheduled psychosocial support for the students involved in the immoral act.
The statement reads in part “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 25, 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 April 25 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.”
The Ministry of education has made it known that it would commence review of guidelines/protocols governing private and public schools in Lagos state
