Education Minister Dominic Cardy said some classrooms may have smaller groupings, and transition times – such as arrival, breaks and lunches – will be staggered.“Students in kindergarten to Grade 2 will see reduced group sizes, with the aim of approximately 15,” he said. “The same will apply for students in Grades 3 to 5, however class size there will depend upon available resources.”
Students in Grades 6 to 8 will have regularly sized classes, he said, and in Grades 9 to 12 students will not be grouped due to schedules and multiple course options.“That means some days they could work from home through distance courses or through guided projects to meet core learning outcomes,” the minister said. “This will help ease congestion in schools where we know overcrowding is already an issue.
Public access to school buildings will be limited to students, school staff and those who receive permission in advance from the principal. Students, staff and visitors will also be subject to a screening process, and anyone feeling ill is instructed to stay home.
