Schools will be closed for both virtual and face-to-face learning from December 18th to January 4th for the Christmas holidays. But when the new term begins in January 2021, only the current CAPE and CSEC students will return to the classrooms, Edcuation Minister, Priya Manickchand has clarified. Manickchand on Friday spoke with the News Room’s Bibi Khatoon where she noted that the Ministry is still consulting with parents and teachers about the possibility of other students returning to classrooms. Additionally, Manickchand said religious leaders are being engaged to track down those children who have not been able to continue learning since the closure of schools on March 17.
