Word reaching us is that the Ministry of Education is awaiting further guidance as it relates to the opening of the new school term.
Questions have been raised lately in many quarters concerning the opening of school in the new term, in light of the COVID situation and the school system.
Towards the end of November, the Ministry of Education, acting on advice from the Ministry of Health and the direction of the Grenada Cabinet, gave notice that there should be a return to the normal scheduling of classes for all students, commencing in the Hilary Term 2022.
However, a release from the Ministry says, in light of the noticeable increase in COVID-19 cases within the last few days, it’s now awaiting further guidance from the Ministry of Health and the Grenada Cabinet.
It says it will notify all stakeholders of any necessary adjustments by Friday, December 31.
Meantime, the Ministry advises all concerned to continue to make preparations for full re-opening on Monday, January 3, 2022.
