Not only has this pandemic disrupted the school academic year, but it has also affected the lives of many people, including our educators and learners. We will continue to monitor our schools and act in the best interest of our educators and learners as we navigate through this difficult period. We once more appeal to educators, parents and learners to practice good hygiene, maintain social distancing and to always wear your mask.
