In a clear case of lack of coordination between different tiers of governments, the Cabinet has cleared the path for schools to resume classes even as local governments continue to impose lockdowns amid rising cases of COVID-19.

The Cabinet last week endorsed the School Resumption Working Guideline which allows the resumption of schools provided that they coordinate with representatives of the local government concerned, teachers unions and representatives from the school management committee.

“The main objective of the guideline is to clear the way to reopen schools that have remained closed due to the threat of the COVID-19 or because they were converted into quarantine or isolation centres,” reads the guidelines.
