Immediate Closure of Basic Schools in Plateau State:

The Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board (PSUBEB) has directed the immediate closure of schools across the state as follows:

Government Junior Model Secondary Schools (GJMSSs) will close effective Saturday, 22 November 2025.
Primary and Day Schools will close effective Monday, 24 November 2025.

This decision is underscoring the urgent need for preventive action.

The Board assures parents, guardians, and stakeholders that this closure is a temporary but necessary step to forestall potential threats and to reassure communities that the government is prioritizing the wellbeing of our learners.

The Board calls on all Local Government Education Authorities, school administrators, and community leaders to cooperate fully with this directive and remain vigilant.

Management, Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board
