He stated that, it is certain schools will be resuming soon but the actual date has not been fixed and encouraged students, parents, school owners and other stakeholders to stay updated on the latest information.there is possibility that different arms of classes resume in batches whereby lower basic and upper basics go to school on different days.
Note: Each student will be mandated to use face mask to school, observe social distances in their sitting arrangement. Hence, all schools will be instructed to make a running tap water with hand sanitizers available at the entrance of the school plus the class rooms. Also extra curricular activities such as inter house sport, debate competitions and others will be suspended until the novel coronavirus is contained.
