Compiled by Elizabeth Mamacos Schools are opening two weeks later in 2021
The decision to delay the reopening of schools in 2021 was based on a request from the Ministry of Health, it has emerged.
The request came because health institutions are overstretched due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was announced late last week that government schools would not be reopening at the end of January as planned, and instead remain closed until 15 February.
Private schools were also persuaded to remain closed, or in some cases asked to close after having opened already.
ECDs, daycare centres and many pre-schools have not been affected by the regulation, and children under age 6 are largely going back to, or starting, school over the next weeks.
