Student’s Death: After parents’ appeal, Lagos reopens Chrisland school

, Ikeja, seven weeks after it ordered its indefinite closure over the death of a 12-year-old student, Whitney Adeniran.

However, the state’s Commissioner for Education, Folashade Adefisayo, said in a letter addressed to the management of the school on Monday that the government has considered reopening the school only for students in “terminal classes i.e JSS 3 and SS 3 to enable them to prepare for their upcoming exams.”

While the parents of all Chrisland School units across the country under the auspices of the Parents Teachers Association have commiserated and admitted that a coroner’s inquest was ongoing, they have continued to appeal to the government to consider other students of the school. The statement read in part: “Chrisland PTA hereby cries out in the interest of her children who are suffering great mental stress and disillusionment over the current state of impasse. It should be noted that a lot of these children require psychological intervention as most of them are still suffering from the emotional trauma of losing one of their fellow students and cannot understand why they are at the same time being punished by the Government for the same occurrence.

I think this is fair enough for parents and their wards, rather than keeping them away from learning for so long.. with this, the school can still be undergoing investigations and case hearing.

I agree with the State Commissioner for education, Folashade adefisayo as she sighted the values for the pupils who's having Terminal examinations the JSS3 & SS3 students to get it all over with,. 7weeks is quite alot to stay at home, so yeah it's a good thing to do.

Well!! those that are already in the school needs to continue, while investigations can still go on. Children can't be left at home just like that ,they need to be updated academically.

Na wa oh.
