Kaduna Governor orders schools to open only four days each week, says teachers should focus on agriculture

The state governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has directed all public schools to migrate to a four-day working week to enable workers to focus on agriculture.

According to Gazettengr, the government said the development would enhance productivity, allow workers to focus on their families, and improve work-life balance.

The Commissioner for Education, Halima Lawal, gave the directive in Kaduna on Sunday in a notice for school resumption for the second term of the new academic session.

The commissioner further advised the school administrators to be security conscious and promptly report any security threats in their schools.

She stated that the academic calendar would be adjusted to ensure coverage of the curriculum for the academic session.
