The Education Ministry announced today the nationwide school reopening schedule, stating that in-person classes will resume on September 12 and outlining safety protocols to reduce COVID-19 transmission.

The ministry said the decision applies to all public primary and secondary schools and follows consultations with health authorities. It emphasized mandatory mask use for staff and students, hand hygiene stations in school buildings, and staggered start times to limit crowding.

According to the announcement, school facilities will undergo cleaning and ventilation checks before reopening. The ministry also noted regular testing availability for teachers and prioritized vaccination access where supplies permit.

Local education offices are instructed to submit readiness reports to the ministry one week before reopening. The ministry will monitor compliance and may adjust measures based on infection trends and health authority guidance.

Class sizes will follow existing regulations, with temporary hybrid arrangements allowed for schools unable to meet safety requirements. Parents will be informed of any changes via official school channels.

Health officials will provide updated protocols as needed, and the ministry urged schools to coordinate with local health units on case reporting and contact tracing. The ministry concluded that the reopening plan aims to balance educational needs with public health considerations.
