Primary and secondary schools across many states in the country will reopen today for the first term of the 2025/2026 academic session, with state governments assuring parents and pupils of a smooth resumption and a quality learning environment.
As pupils return to classrooms, scenes are expected to differ across schools. While some children will meet newly renovated buildings, freshly supplied desks, and improved facilities, others will return to dilapidated classrooms, bushy compounds, and scattered furniture. For many schools, lessons and revision will commence immediately; for others, the opening day will be devoted to cleaning and preparation before academic activities fully resume.
“The first-term academic calendar will run for 13 weeks, beginning on Monday, 15th September 2025, and ending on Friday, 12th December 2025. The state government remains dedicated to policies and programmes geared towards improving teaching, learning, and overall academic performance of students in the state in local and national examinations.”
