Public primary and junior secondary schools in Edo state are set to begin the third term of the 2021/2022 academic session as schools reopen on 9, May 2022. 

A directive from Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (Edo SUBEB) dated April 23 2022 and signed by the Executive Chairman of the Board, Mrs Ozavize E. Salami  “confirmed the date of third term resumption of all public primary and junior secondary schools to be Monday 9, 2022.”

Public primary and junior secondary schools in Edo state have witnessed remarkable improvement in administration, teaching and learning outcomes following the implementation of the EdoBEST programme.

EdoBEST is a World Bank supported programme that has been commended for its impact on education policy and adoption of technology to improve learning outcomes.

Over the holiday, a series of trainings and workshops were conducted for Principals, Headteachers, Teachers, Learning and Development Officers as well as Quality Assurance Officers to upskill them in readiness for third term term. The EdoBEST programme runs in progressive primary schools (schools in rural and remote areas), junior secondary schools as well as other primary schools.

All EdoBEST pupils are expected to resume school on 9, May 2022.
