| The nation’s children will continue attending classes in an online format for another two weeks, after which a blended approach will again be considered at the beginning of November. This is according to Minister of Education, Curtis King, who shared the details of the recent decision regarding mode of teaching in schools, given the continuing upsurge in COVID-19 positive cases. “We have extended the online teaching for the next two weeks. If conditions are favourable, then we would commence a blended approach from Monday, November 1 for all schools,” King told SEARCHLIGHT on October 14, 2021. Schools across St Vincent and the Grenadines opened virtually for the 2021/2022 academic year on October 4, due to the COVID-19 situation. Officials announced ahead of the opening that they would consider a blended approach two weeks later, and that consideration would be given to resume face-to-face learning later in the term, depending on what was happening with the pandemic. The education minister said yesterday that an extensive document was prepared, which outlined several categories to facilitate this plan. |
