The All Nigeria Confederation of
Principals of Secondary Schools on Thursday rejected the September 22
resumption date announced by the Federal Government.
In
a telephone interview with our correspondent, the National Secretary of
ANCONPPS, Mr. Kevin Nwankwo, said there was no evidence of any
preventive measures already taken by the states to curb the spread of
the Ebola Virus Disease, hence he asked the Federal Government to
rescind its decision on the announced date.
He
said, “Our position is not different from the position of the Nigeria
Union of Teachers. We need to take cognisance of the observation of the
Nigeria Medical Association, saying that government was under pressure.
“As
at yesterday, there was nothing to show that teachers are being
trained. I am not aware of sanitisers or training in any school yet. The
slated date for the teachers’ training is today (Thursday) but as at
yesterday (Wednesday), there was nothing to show that anything would
happen. There is simply nothing to show that we are ready to reopen
schools yet.’’
