Avert further coronavirus infections in schools

Since the partial reopening of schools in October, many of them have had their fair share of challenges. The challenges revolve around restrictions induced by Covid-19 and the need to ensure that the school environment is safe for learners.

Form Four students, Class Eight and Grade four learners resumed schooling last month after seven months of closure as a safety precaution against Covid-19. Plans by the Ministry of Education to allow back more students in the phased reopening were put on hold following Wednesday's presidential directive that schools reopen in January 2021.
