The Education Ministry says monies to purchase hand sanitizers and other materials were uploaded to the accounts of schools, yesterday.
This, as the ministry continues efforts to help schools shore up their preparations to reduce the spread of communicable diseases to include the new corona virus.
A statement from the ministry says an initial payment of thirty thousand dollars was made to primary schools with populations below 950, and 50 thousand dollars for those with more students, will be augmented based on an assessment of their needs.
Each high school will also be provided with 50 thousand dollars.
