Addressing the participants, the Director of Education and Quality Assurance, Mr. Remi Abdul analysed the steps required to maintain safety precautions as stated in the guidelines for school re-opening after COVID- 19 pandemic.
Speaking to ECHONEWS, the President of the Association of Private School Owners (APSO), Mr. Monsuru Ayinde Obiola promised that they would ensure the safety of the students and the teachers during school sessions.
He said with the training, the private schools are ready for operation as there would be checks on the schools from time to time.
