The reopening of schools now hinges on whether the institutions are ready to receive pupils and all amenities necessary for health and safety are in place, with grades ten and eleven likely to head back first.
A release from the Ministry of Education (MoE) yesterday, informed that the Minister of Education Priya Manickchand held a virtual meeting with all Regional Executive Officers (REO) and Regional Education Officers (REdO) to discuss plans for the eventual re-opening of schools.
In attendance were Chief Education Officer, Dr Marcel Hutson; Permanent Secretary, Alfred King; and the Assistant Chief Education Officers for Nursery, Primary and Secondary; along with all District Education Officers (DEO) and the Chief Planning Officer Nicola Johnson.
