According to the News Agency Of Nigeria, NAN, the Borno Government has declared that they would reopen all public schools on the 17th of November.
The schools were closed down in March earlier this year due to security concerns after deadly attacks by the Boko Haram on schools in neighboring Yobe.
Confirming the report, Mohammed Dongel, the chairman of the 19-man committee on the resuscitation of primary school education in the state, told NAN in Maiduguri that measures to safeguard the schools have been adopted.
He said the government is also taking extra measures to encourage pupils to return and ensure friendly atmosphere for teaching and learning. However, only primary schools would be reopened, while secondary schools would remain close until the Internally Displaced Persons taking refuge in the schools were relocated.
Some of the measures to encourage the pupils include the provision of free uniforms and feeding to all students in public schools.Top notch security measures to ensure a safe environment for teaching and learning have also been introduced including a 24 hour surveillance and partnership with the local vigilante group.
Hmnnnn....will all these steps really be enough to keep Boko Haram away?
