The Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) has enjoined schools in Lagos State to observe the mid-term break for the 2022/2023 second-term academic session from Feb. 24th to March 3.

This is made known in a statement by Mrs Abiola Seriki-Ayeni, Director General, OEQA, on Tuesday in Lagos.

The statement noted that the directive was contained in the harmonised academic calendar for 2022/2023 amended as approved by Mrs Folashade Adefisayo, Hon. Commissioner, Lagos State Ministry of Education.

“We, the OEQA, Ministry of Education wish to remind stakeholders that the mid-term break will commence on Friday, Feb.24, and the directive is applicable to public and private schools across Lagos State.

“This compliance is mandatory for all schools below tertiary level in the state, while emergency preparedness and safety precautions should be in place,” it added.

The statement, however, urged schools and parents to follow the Lagos State Government social media handles as well as the OEQA website on www.oeqalagos.com for latest development.
