The normal five-day learning week will resume when school open on Tuesday, bringing to an end the alternating system that saw learners attending in-person classes on specified days due to Covid-19, it has been learnt. The move will mark the first time in two years that learners will have normal lessons after Government’s measures to curb the spread of the pandemic in March 2020. Schools were de-congested through the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). It resulted in learners attending physical lessons for two or three days only, with different Grades alternating. “The idea of alternating the number of days learners come to school is falling off this term. Learners can now go to school every day, but schools must continue to observe the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure that they prevent and minimise Covid-19 cases.”
