Christians attending faith based schools such as Baptist High School in Osun State have again put up a show of resistance to the state's new education reform. It would be recalled that last year, academic activities in some schools were grounded by Christian activists and parents who were protesting against the new de-segregated school policy implemented by the state government.
As schools were opening for the new term, returning students to Baptist High school - the focus of resistance to the new policy - turn out in mixed dresses rather than the state wide approved school uniform. The Christians opted for white garment while the Muslims wore insignia. The pagan students were also reportedly wearing masquerade costumes. Not only this, the school's regular assembly session has always been rowdy as students are divided over school anthem.
Effort by teachers to enforce the new reform have been met with stiff resistance by students, in fact, teachers were reportedly injured by students in an attempt to stop students-in-fighting and enforce the new education policy of the state.
So far, academic activities are in disarray in some affected schools.
