Students in Grades 10, 11 and 12 (fourth, fifth and sixth formers) in Guyana will return to schools for in person teaching from November 9, 2020.
Minister of Education (MoE) Priya Manickchand announced the date for in person teaching today.
“The truth is many of these students have already been back at school with their teachers engaging face to face. Because teachers, students and parents are deeply worried that except their children get that level of engagement, they won’t be able to successfully sit the 2021 CXC exams,” Manickchand said in a Facebook post.
“In an effort to make learning safe the MOE shall be providing care packages including face masks and sanitizing material to teachers and students, adequate handwashing facilities will be in place and distancing during instruction time will happen.”
Manickchand said the government could not sit idly by and allow “irreparable harm and damage to our students” who are preparing for exams.
