The Ministry of Education (MoE) has announced that it will be hosting meetings with the Parent-Teacher Associations (PTA) to discuss strategies to ensure children are engaging during at-home learning.

In a press release issued last week by the Education Ministry, it was stated that Chief Education Officer (CEO), Dr Marcel Hutson had begun meeting with executives attached to the country’s PTAs, to discuss ways in which they can collectively assess whether children are kept engaged in learning while schools remain physically closed. The meetings are being conducted virtually.
