So, like we said, education will continue via distance learning, that may mean the internet, or radio and television. Faber explains how they plan to case as wide an electronic net as possible for students:
Hon. Patrick Faber, Minister of Education
"The ministry will continue to develop and broadcast daily audio lessons on local FM radio stations and more information on that will come in this week and we will also provide a printed publication containing learning activities for students at the early childhood and primary levels who may otherwise not have access to the other resources being provided. So, during the course of this week of April 20th people can look forward to learning more about where they can access the TV and radio broadcast audio and visual lessons. In addition, as I've said we are also going to put out a printed publication for pre-primary and primary levels. This is going to be in the form of a newsprint and it is our aim to make thousands of copies of this available at the pre-primary and primary levels and we will aim to have available via banks and grocery shops even in the villages across the country, so that people can access it. We are hoping that such a publication will over at least 2 weeks' worth of work."
