The statement, however, tasked academic boards
and Senate of the institutions to fix their specific

put in place COVID-19 guidelines for safe
reopening.
Meanwhile, primary and secondary students are
to resume classes on September 21, adhering to
morning and afternoon shifts format.
According to the statement, pupils from primary
one to primary three are to be in school between
the hours of 8 am and 11 am while those in
primary four to primary six will resume afterwards

shift from 8 am to 11 am while their counterparts

To ensure social distancing, school heads were
advised to make temporary use of spaces like
laboratories, libraries and examination hall as
