FG to involve NUT in guidelines for reopening of schools

The Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, said the Federal Government was engaging teachers in   the guidelines for  resumption of schools.

The General Secretary, Nigeria Union of Teachers, Mike Ene, had, in reaction to the guidelines by the PTF, told THE PUNCH that teachers would not resume because the government was not serious with what it was  doing.

But Nwajiuba said, “We are engaging them (the NUT). We as a people review the information that is available to government and juxtapose that with the needs of children who are in the exit classes so that they may obtain the minimum certificates that they need in order to progress in future.”
