Do not rely on forwarded messages or pay into an account that has not been confirmed by the school.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare learning materials early:<\/strong> Check exercise books, textbooks, writing materials, uniform, shoes and school bag before the rush immediately before resumption.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rebuild the sleep routine:<\/strong> Move bedtime and wake-up time closer to the school schedule during the final days of the holiday.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan transport and safety:<\/strong> Confirm the route, pickup arrangements and emergency contacts, especially for younger pupils and new students.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep the calendar visible:<\/strong> Save the term dates and mark the Open Days, mid-term breaks, vacations and the next resumption dates on a family calendar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_the_calendar_apply_to_private_schools\"><\/span>Does the calendar apply to private schools?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes. The reported Oyo State calendar covers public and private schools. The state\u2019s notice says schools should adhere strictly to the approved dates. A private school that operates an international curriculum and wants to use different dates is expected to apply for calendar flexibility through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.<\/p>\n<p>That does not remove the need to check the individual school\u2019s notice. A school may issue additional instructions about boarding students, orientation, entrance tests, examinations, fees or transport, but parents should treat such instructions as school-specific additions and verify them with the administration.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_distinction_for_university_students\"><\/span>Important distinction for university students<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This calendar is for the state\u2019s public and private primary and secondary schools. Universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and other tertiary institutions set their own academic calendars. Students in higher institutions in Oyo State should therefore check their institution\u2019s official website or registrar\u2019s notice rather than assume that September 14 applies to them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sources_and_verification\"><\/span>Sources and verification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/education.oyostate.gov.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oyo State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology<\/a> is the relevant official authority.
