Borno State Government, said on Sunday in Maiduguri, that public schools in the state would reopen in November, eight months after they were shut.
Dr Mohammed Dongel, Chairman, Committee on the Resuscitation of Primary School Education, who stated this at a meeting, said that the schools would reopen in the first or the second week of the month.
Public schools were closed down on March 14, after deadly attacks by suspected Boko Haram insurgents in schools in neighbouring Yobe.
“We hope to reopen all public schools by the first or second week of November God willing.
“By then we hope to have put in place all necessary infrastructure and instruction materials for conducive teaching and learning,” he said.
Dongel said that the committee would also introduce measures to enhance school enrollment in the state.
“We plan to introduce various measures to encourage parents to send their children and wards to school.
“The measures will also help entice pupils who are enrolled in school to remain,” he said.
Dongel said that the committee would pay periodic visits to schools to ensure implementation of government plans on increased school enrollment.
