According to the commissioner, all school heads are to ensure strict adherence to the COVID-19 lay down rules as the Taraba state government was making possible efforts to providing the necessary safety materials across primary and secondary schools in the state.
The state government, however, directed all schools to wave the third term academic period and apply the same on school fees.
While calling on parents to comply with the directive, the commissioner explained that only primary and secondary schools are allowed to reopen for academics exercise.
