The National Centre for Disease Control has set a number of health conditions for resuming education for students of school leaving certificate and Junior School Certificate, said the head of the School Health Department at the centre, Dr. Fawzia Al-Tarhouni.
"All safety precautions should be taken if classes are to be resumed, including limiting the number of pupils in each classroom to 15 and providing clean water and sanitizers," Al-Tarhouni said.
The conditions also stipulated that school canteens remain closed, as well as prohibiting all gathering activities such as sports games and morning assemblies.
Al-Tarhouni indicated that the Ministry of Education is chalking a plan to reduce the number of daily school hours as well as some of the topics in the curriculum, noting the decision to resume classes for specific stages does not mean the Covid-19 threat is over.
