Title: The resumption of school activities confirmed for January 8, 2024, despite rumors of postponement
Introduction :
The Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education (EPST) has denied rumors reporting a postponement of the resumption of school activities for security reasons. In a tweet, Tony Mwaba, spokesperson for the ministry, affirmed that classes would indeed resume as planned on Monday January 8, 2024. This clarification was made following a publication containing a false press release circulating on social networks and attributed to the EPST. In this article, we will take stock of this situation and its impact on the educational community.
Unfounded rumors:
On Wednesday January 3, 2024, a publication on social networks reported a press release from the EPST announcing the postponement of the resumption of classes for security reasons. According to Tony Mwaba, it was a falsification of his signature by a malicious person. He wanted to reassure students, parents and teaching staff by confirming that the resumption of classes would take place on Monday January 8 throughout the national territory.
An expected confirmation:
This clarification from the Ministry of EPST puts an end to speculation and concerns about a possible extension of school holidays. Schools will thus be able to resume their activities on schedule, allowing students to return to class and teachers to continue their educational mission.
The importance of academic stability:
The stability of the school calendar is essential to ensure continuity in the education of children and young people. Any postponement or disruption of school activities can have harmful consequences on students’ academic career, particularly in terms of learning and progress. It is therefore essential to maintain an environment conducive to education and academic success.
Conclusion :
Despite rumors of postponement, the Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education (EPST) confirmed that the resumption of school activities would take place on January 8, 2024. This clarification puts an end to concerns and allows schools to resume their classes within the planned deadlines. Academic stability is essential to guarantee quality education, so it is important to keep the school calendar running smoothly. Students, parents and teachers can now prepare with peace of mind for this new school year.
