SCHOOL CLOSURE LIKELY TO HAVE SERIOUS IMPACT ON SCHOOL CHILDREN.
 
Apart from the profound economic and social consequences the school lockdown has placed on the educational system in Nigeria, the lockdown may also bring traumatizing experience to the generation Z and Alpha. These are the generations that constitute our preschool, primary, secondary, and tertiary institutes. According to UNESCO, over 90% of the world’s students have been affected by the school closure. This is in addition to the 13.2 out of school children that were yet to receive education in Nigeria.
How traumatizing can this lockdown really be to our children? A declaration of state emergency over rape and sexual violence against young ladies and children tripled during the country’s coronavirus lockdown. In some instances, the culprits were adolescents who should have been in school. The idle minds become the devil’s workshop.
It took us just a simple announcement of school closure by the Honorable Minister of Education, March 23rd the Federal Ministry of Education announced the temporary close-down of all schools in Nigeria to contain the spread of the coronavirus. However, the decision to reopen schools has been inconclusive. coronavirus has forced schools globally to switch to online learning, including Nigeria. What can we do to help over 40% of Nigerian families living below I dollar a day to be able to afford online learning? What to cater for the 46 million students affected?
The course of writing this article, there was this breaking news that the Lagos state government has cancelled the June 21 reopening of churches and mosques. The hope schools reopening may have been dashed beyond the expectation of all by this news. Hmmm!!!!

  INAUTHENTIC LEARNING   Beware of inauthentic learning most especially during this new normal life we and children now live. The information processing theory in psychology views learners as active investigators of their learning. This means that every learning process requires the learner's involvement.   Communicative learning approach was taken to an unusual dimension in 1944 around World War II by David Horsborgh with his innovative thinking and charismatic leadership he introduced activity-based learning at Rishi Valley School in India.   His philosophy emphasized that learning can be best when it is initiated by the surrounding environment and motivated by providing optimum opportunities to learners. Learners are viewed unique, intelligent, and talented. Therefore, learning must remain active, not passive, hands-on on the experiment, and student-centric.   Today in the New Normal, teaching and learning must adopt authentic learning.

LEARNING THROUGH INTER-DEPENDENCY     Wise teachers know that the purpose of teaching is from dependence to independence through inter-dependency. It is important to be realistic as far as teaching-learning process is concerned. Students will engage faster and better when we take them from the simple to the complex, known to the unknown And of course from the concrete to the abstract. This helps motivation and inspire effective teacher-learner rapport. Our students are like trees in the forest vegetation when they have attained their academic career. They may have started that journey relying on everyone around them, especially their teachers. We often defined education as the process of preparing the dependent child to becoming an independent adult, for his relevance in the society. The above assumed definition is incomplete in its operations without the absolute involvement of the inter-dependency of the individual students to his success and that of others around hi
