If COVID-19 hadn't turned the world upside down, school would have re-opened today after the easter holidays. But…right now, parents and children don't know when school will re-open - and neither does the ministry! The heads of the Ministry of Education held a one hour 45 minute virtual press conference to try and answer all your questions on education - but in some cases, try is all they could do - like when it came to the first, inevitable question, when will normal classes resume?:
Hon. Patrick Faber, Minister of Education
"Probably the most turning question is when will schools re-open. Guidance for the reopening of schools will come from the National Oversight Committee based on advice from health authorities. Under the circumstances, the reopening of schools before the end of the current school year is not guaranteed; therefore, distance and home-based learning are expected to continue to varying degrees at different levels of education."
