Those accusing private school owners of greed clearly miss the point. Whether schools open in September or October, the students MUST pay the school fees IN FULL! A child that doesn't contract Ebola in school can as well do so in churches. The best method would have been to distribute hand sanitizers to schools and give orientation on Ebola preventive measures. |

They should be happy that FG is trying to help them define the direction here, they are making noise as if any sensible parents would risk having their child/children be exposed to this deadly virus. Dead persons do not go to school. If they like, let them open their schools, it won't take more than 5mins of announcement from the health minister to quarantine the whole school including the parents of the children of any ebola effected school. God forbid anyways. It's better late than sorry! 1 Like |

Onyegecha: I agree with your submission. Government should explore other available means and not only jeopardizing others business. ![]() I presume the government is exploiting less argumentative area like closing of school to avoid litigation or head-on collision with the constitution which state freedom of gathering and association if your other point is considered. 1 Like 1 Share |

Na wa o, my parents are school owners and I feel for them.... Closing schools might help but then a child that is sick with the disease won't even be able to attend school, I thought the disease is only contagious when a person is really ill? they might as well close down all other public places, not just schools..... |

Onyegecha: I AGREE WITH THE PRIVATE SCHOOL OWNERS ON THIS. ASKING SCHOOLS NOT TO OPEN IS A GOOD DEFINITION OF CLUELESSNESS. what of the cancellation of nysc batch B stream ii camping. that one is not a sign of cluelessness? i pleaded with seun osewa to take our letter to frontpage but he turned a deaf ear to our request. i called more than 50% of the mod to the thread but they ignore it all thats why when some nairalanders take to insulting most of this mod i dont blame them ![]() https://www.nairaland.com/1876957/open-letter-nysc-board-batch |

Blackchampion: Yea! If markets n religious gatherings re open; then i see no nid postponing school resumption date. Yes you are right! But I think we should allow the government do their work. Please do you have children? Have you been to their school? Do you know the ratio of teacher to pupil most especially in these private schools who are making terrible money? The issue is this, the population of children in religious places and markets cannot be compared to that of schools. Even at that parents can still help their wards in those places, in terms of washing hands, sanitizing hands etc. If they are in school, who would do that for them? I see this cry as that of revenue loss and not concern for the children. Like someone said, mine would be at home for now. Many thanks. 3 Likes |

See these people oo, is it not for there own good? So until when all the student contact Ebola and are quarantined, na that time dem go happy. Greedy people that does not want the safety of their students. Parents of children in this schools should better do Pta meeting to support the government.

[quote author=Theflint1]Jonathan is as clueless a he-goat as usual, If universities where students move from state to state are left open, tell me what stewpid rationale Jonathan has for shutting down secondary schools....GEJ till 2019. University students sure know how to protect themselves to an extent but imagine a toddler in creech who still uses diapers & a minder is made to clean him up or a pre- nursery pupil who cleans his nose with his hands & goes on playing with other children. There's no point comparing schools to market & places of worship, because parents have greater control of their children in the later. Imagine them claiming the directive is senseless & they believe subjecting every parent, student or guest to a test before entering the school premises sound sensible? My dear, one thing you must know is that every pressure group looks out for it's own first. They do not care for these pupils' education as much as they care for their pockets. When my sister's daughter was down with mumbs, she was made to suspend school to avoid infecting others, so why can't they postpone their resumption date? Btw, a reasonable & rationale person who isn't daft nor clueless would state his argument without throwing jabs at people how much more his president. It is for the want of cogent reasons to tender that some folks resort to insults with the intention of humiliating their opponent. |

The Federal Govt is protecting our children from contacting and spreading ebola. Once a child contacts the disease, its bound to spread to friends and relations. Certainly govt is not asking for too much by shifting resumption date to further observe the situation. It is unfortunate that the school owners will loose revenue. But on the long run our kids are safe, and even the schools are protected from having a wide spread of the ailment. |
Re: Ebola: School Owners, FG On Collision Course by Theflint1(m): 12:10pm On Aug 30, 2014 |
[quote author=InvaluableGem][/quote] If u have lived in a university hostel before, u would know that the chances of contracting Ebola are much higher there as compared to secondary schools; shared toilets, bathrooms, over populated classes and other over populated places and shared amenities. These kids are not supervising themselves, supervision comes from adults who know what to look out for, sensible thing would have been to sensitize the kids on Ebola, kids ain't as "stupid" as you think...most kids I know are smarter than u are. And you saying parents have control over their kids in market places is total B.S., market places are always highly populated so there's bound to be exchange of body fluids. 1 Like |

I think the govt is right,children are not as disccerning as adults and therefore may not take as much precautions as adults.On the revenue issue ,i have already paid the fees of my three kids for a school term that i had expected to run from sept till dec but may now run from oct to Dec now.I am the one loosing here not the Schools but no sacrifice is too much for me to make for the health of my kids.All stakeholders here should see this as a sacrifice we need to make for a Greater NIGERIA 2 Likes |
