Minister of Education Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly said a third draft of the reopening guidelines for schools has been prepared and will be discussed for a second time with health officials.
In a statement on Thursday, Gadsby-Dolly said physically, schools are generally prepared for reopening and many are in use as centres for CXC January exams, which begin on Monday.
She said the guidelines are being checked to ensure arrangements are in place to protect staff and students.
There are over 90 school repair projects going on, she said, adding issues which arise at the schools are being prioritised, including installing sinks at entrances.
