THE Anambra State Government has extended the 3rd term 2019/2020 academic calendar by two weeks.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Basic Education, Nwabueze Nwankwo.
According to the statement, the 3rd term academic session would run from Sept. 14 to Nov. 12 as against an earlier calendar of Sept. 14 to Oct. 23.
“Those in flood-affected areas will proceed on recess from Oct. 5, until the situation improves.
“The ministry implores the affected students and pupils in flood affected areas to make effective use of the ‘Teaching On-Air’ programme as radio sets will be distributed to these areas for optimal use,’’ the statement said.
The statement, however, added that students involved in National Examination Council, NECO, had been assigned to other unaffected schools to sit for the examinations.
It noted that the ministry would soon release the full details of 2020/2021 academic calendar.
