They understood the importance of working aggressively to return our schools to a state of normalcy and we commend them for making our schools a priority.

The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology thanks the public, especially parents for their patience and cooperation in the midst of this unusual circumstance. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the administrators, teachers and staff who placed service above self and untied to rebuild the spirit of their school communities. We look forward to welcoming our students, teachers and staff to school this week and hope that they will all be focused as we do our best to make up for the time that has been lost.
