The commissioner stated: “I wish to inform pupils, students, and parents that the announcement earlier made for school resumption on 8th and 9th Sept 2024 is now being postponed.

“This is due to some urgent reasons that will help in improving the provision of a conducive learning atmosphere for our children.

“Another date for the resumption will be announced in due course.”

He, however, appealed to the people concerned especially the students, parents, and guardians to bear with any inconveniences that may be caused by the postponement.
