The Ministry of Education (MoE), in collaboration with the Department of Education Services (DES) on Tuesday (14 September), issued COVID 19 Guidance for Educational Institutions.

The document, which applies to all educational institutions, provides educators with direction regarding the implementation of several key safety measures, including social distancing and cleaning amidst the community spread of the COVID-19 virus.

“The health and safety of our children and educators is our utmost priority,” Minister for Education the Honourable Juliana O’Connor-Connolly stated. “This document is aimed at supporting our local educational institutions as they maintain a safe and positive learning environment for our children and aid schools’ preparation for the transition to remote learning should the need arise.”

MoE Chief Officer Ms. Cetonya Cacho added, “As we move forward, the Ministry will also continue to be guided by our local Public Health experts and inform the public of any new developments to ensure the continued health and safety of our children and educators.”
