The Edo government has announced a new resumption date for public and private schools across the state. Find out when schools are reopening.

After a recent postponement, the Edo State Government has ordered all public and private schools in the state to begin the 2024–2025 academic year on September 30.

This update follows the originally scheduled, postponed September 9th restart date.

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Ojo Akin-Longe, addressed circulating bogus notices regarding a new restart date in a statement released in Benin on Sunday.

He issued a warning to parents and guardians, telling them to ignore any false information claiming that schools would reopen earlier than planned.

“We refer to the previous declaration that all Edo State public and private schools would not be reopening on Monday, September 9, 2024, as initially planned.

We are aware of a later, fraudulent notification that claimed classes would resume on Monday, September 23, 2024.
