Kaduna govt orders JSS 3 students to resume classes

The Kaduna State government on Wednesday directed students in Junior Secondary School 3 in the state to resume classes in readiness for their Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE).

The BECE will start on August 23 in schools across the state.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Dr. Shehu Muhammad, gave the directive in a statement in Kaduna.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai had last month ordered the closure of schools over the worsening insecurity in the state.
