“As students and teachers head back into classrooms across the country today, my thoughts will be with them as we pray for the safe completion of this academic term.
The stakes are high and our students, like all of us, are coming off a difficult year filled with unprecedented challenges. There is extra work to be done to ensure that students are on track with their academic development as we continue to prepare them for success in school and beyond.
We learnt last school year a lot of what it takes to keep our school environment safe and we are entering into this new phase armed with that knowledge.
So let us learn from those lessons. Let us adhere to all the necessary protocols. Let us all play our part for our children and for our nation’s future”
