After being closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, public schools fully reopened their doors yesterday. Over the next week, pupils in every grade will be returning to the classroom for face-to-face engagement.
A release from the Ministry of Education said that Chief Education Officer, Dr Marcel Hutson visited several schools around Georgetown yesterday. His first stop was at Queen’s College. “The literature is very clear that face to face education, nothing beats that, and we expect our children to settle in nicely and to do well. We have had a phased reopening because we did not want to create any confusion, and so we wanted to watch and assess the situation.”
