Teacher Unions, Education Ministry To Discuss Schools Closure

The unions believe that the issue is not getting the attention it deserves and is not being addressed as quickly as it should be.

Information reaching The Monitor indicates the Ministry of Basic Education, the Presidential Task Team and teachers unions will meet on Tuesday to discuss the matter. The meeting was supposed to have been held last Monday to come up with strategies or to opt to close schools for 14 days to attempt to address the spread of the virus.
