The education ministry will be providing over $430m in additional support to schools, ahead of full resumption of face to face classes next Monday March 7.

Education minister Fayval Williams assured principals of infant, primary and secondary level schools, of additional financial and resources support at a meeting last Thursday.

In the virtual meeting attended by over 700 representatives from infant and primary schools and 200 from the secondary level, Mrs Williams advised that the ministry is providing additional funding to assist with the preparatory activities for full resumption of face to face learning especially those related to sanitization and furniture needs.

A total sum of $430,850,000 is to be transferred to schools’ accounts by this Friday March 4 , to offset cost incurred by schools.
