National President, National Parents Teachers’ Association of Nigeria (NAPTAN), Alhaji Haruna Danjuma, said they would meet with the Minister of Education on Monday to find a solution over the cancellation of WAEC slated August 4.
During an interview with Punch, the NAPTAN president said parents and schools are willing to put measures in places such as the provision of face masks, handwashing containers, and hand sanitizers to minimize the risks of virus contraction by the pupils.
He said:
“Surprisingly, we heard from the Federal Ministry of Education that the government has suspended the reopening of schools. This is very confusing; we don’t know what to do. We are waiting for whatever will come after this.
“On our side at NAPTAN, we are planning to go to the ministry and meet with the minister or his representatives to hear from them. It should be on Monday.”
