Kwara state government has announced resumption of the ten mission schools affected in the hijab controversy for Monday.
Permanent Secretary Kwara Ministry of Education, Mrs. Mary Adeosun, in a statement on Sunday, said, “This is to inform parents/guardians and teachers that the 2020/2021 Third Term Academic Session for the 10 schools affected in the recent hijaab debate starts on Monday, 12th April 2021.
