The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education, Adel Jumaa, confirmed on Thursday that schools will resume on the specified date of February 13, provided there are no further epidemiological developments of the Coronavirus pandemic within that period.
In a statement, Jumaa indicated that the Ministry of Education is committed to push forward with the decision of the Presidential Council (PC), which was issued last January, to suspend studies for a period of three weeks, due to the lack of preparation on the part of various educational facilities to confront the Coronavirus pandemic.
Jumaa went on to explain that the Ministry took full advantage of the suspension period, using it to form committees to follow up on the preparation of all educational institutions and arranging the operational budget for the institutions involved.
