This has been an unprecedented year with the recent happenings that have regrettably led to frequent closure of schools with attendant learning disruptions faced by all children.We pray and hope that there will be no more disruptions in the academic calendar.
However, the State Government will always regard the safety of pupils/students, parents and all staff as a matter of priority.We recommend that when schools resume on Monday, teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term”.
