Govt, teachers disagree on schools reopening

GOVERNMENT will this week announce the date when schools will reopen following an assessment done by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education on their preparedness to reopen under new conditions and health protocols. Schools are likely to open in September, while public examinations would take place in December and January. Exam dates will only be announced after the date schools will reopen has been determined. Primary and Secondary Education Minister Ambassador Cain Mathema told The Sunday Mail that consultations on the new term were ongoing. – Sunday Mail
