After a five-week break for Ramadan, schools in Bauchi State are set to resume academic activities on Sunday, April 6. The confirmation came through a statement issued on Thursday by the state’s Ministry of Education.
The ministry’s Information and Public Relations Officer, Jalaludeen Usman, assured parents and guardians that both day and boarding schools would reopen as scheduled for the continuation of the second term.
“The Honourable Commissioner for Education, Dr. Lawal Mohammed Rimin Zayam, wishes to remind parents and guardians that the resumption date for the continuation of the second term is Sunday, 6th April, for both day and boarding schools in Bauchi State,” the statement read.
The ministry noted that prompt resumption is crucial, warning that latecomers would not be tolerated. “Parents and guardians are advised to ensure their wards resume on the stipulated date to avoid any disruptions to their academic progress”, he said.
In addition, the ministry also revealed plans to begin JAMB CBT training for students sponsored by the Bauchi State Government. “As education remains a top priority for the Bauchi State Government under the leadership of Governor Bala Mohammed, the Ministry of Education is committed to ensuring the success of all students.
“To this end, the ministry will soon commence JAMB CBT training for all sponsored JAMB students, empowering them to excel in all examinations sponsored by the Bauchi State Government.”
Meanwhile, schools had initially closed on March 1, 2025, following the academic calendar, but the extended closure drew criticism from religious groups and civil society organizations, who raised concerns about its impact on the education system.
