Minister for Education, Premila Kumar says the Ministry will be working closely with various schools to provide necessary psycho-social support to students in the first week of their return to school.

She says teachers will identify and assist students in need.

Kumar says the Ministry is aware of the fact that not all students have had regular and reliable access to online learning tools during the long school closure.

She adds students will now get the opportunity to work closely with their teachers to successfully complete the requirements of the 2021 academic year before progressing to the next level.

The Minister for Education is also calling on parents not to send their children to school if they are not feeling well.

Kumar further says the schools will be finalising provisional enrollments for the 2022 academic year by the end of this month, giving parents and guardians ample time to prepare their children for the new school year.

The last term for 2021 commences tomorrow for Years 8 to 13 and January 10th for Early Childhood Education to Year 7.
