The Ministry of Education yesterday released its schedule for the reopening of schools on Monday, January 3, 2022.
According to the schedule, pupils at the nursery level will attend face-to-face learning as of January 3, and sessions will be for four hours each day. The schools will use a rotation system. At the primary level pupils will have online and face-to-face classes which will see them attending physical classes on a rotation schedule. At the secondary level, students of Grade Seven will have face-to-face and online classes. When attending face-to-face classes the students will use a rotation system. The Grade Eight to Twelve classes will have face-to-face only classes. These students will have classes every day.
The parents of students who opt to remain at home will be responsible for ensuring that their child is meaningfully engaged using the resources provided by the Ministry of Education, which are available on its website.
The ministry said that students must sanitize as often as possible when attending face-to-face classes. The requirement of face masks will be enforced and it is highly recommended that learners 12 years and above be fully vaccinated.
