Schools will reopen on September 6 for face-to-face teaching, the Ministry of Education reiterated yesterday as it urged parents to allow their children to be vaccinated with the Pfizer shots that are due to arrive in the country today and warned teachers to be inoculated or provide a weekly negative PCR test.
The ministry’s directive prompted the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) last night to withdraw with immediate effect from participating in the assessment of schools and other engagements with the ministry until the release is retracted.
The ministry yesterday issued two releases on the planned reopening of schools: one aimed at parents and their children and the other directed at teachers.
