The Ministry of Education has issued a statement regarding the manner in which academic activities will be conducted in schools during the coming week (June 27 – July 1).
Schools in cities and suburbs which did not have schools last week have been directed to conduct schools on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays – three days during the week. The principals of these schools have been given the power to decide the number of school days for primary school activities.
Relevant academic activities are to be conducted through online methodology and home-based activities on days when students are not coming to school.
Accordingly, the academic activities of other schools where there is no fuel shortage for transport activities should continue in the coming week in the same manner as implemented from June 20 to 24.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Education has instructed the principals of these schools to adopt a flexible policy of exempting their teachers from personal leave in view of the inconvenience caused to them in reporting for duty due to fuel shortages
