Students and teachers will benefit from a one week mid-term break this academic year. It will run from Monday, October 26 to Friday, October 30. Schools will reopen on Tuesday, November 3, after the Independence holiday.
In a memorandum dated October 9, 2020 which was addressed to principals, Director of Education, Clare Browne, applauded the work of the faculty of schools across the country for ensuring that the education institutions were readied for the return of students for the 2020/2021 academic year.
Browne said school leaders, teachers and support staff have been working tirelessly to ensure that students remain safe.
“In the spirit of allowing for your rejuvenation for the remainder of the term, the MoEST has taken the decision to adjust the Academic Calendar 2020-2021 by extending the mid-term break to one week,” Browne said.
He continued that the COVID-19 era in which we now live and work demands that educators become creative and vigilant in order to maintain a safe school environment.
He said the Ministry of Education is mindful of the efforts which principals and staff are making to facilitate this process daily.
The Director of Education concluded by relaying gratitude to the teaching fraternity for their service “rendered during this critical period.”

A well deserved move by the M.O.E.👍
Any word about the private school? The break is needed too.
