Education Minister Stephen Lecce says in-class instruction and April Break will go on as planned.
This comes after speculation classes would move online if the province increases COVID-19 regulations.
“Schools will remain open critical for students’ mental health & learning,” said Lecce in a tweet Thursday.
“The Chief Medical Officer of Health has said schools remain safe. Against third wave & VOCs, strong protocols have kept 98.7% of schools open and 74% without any cases. Students deserve to be in class.”
Lecce says decision expected in several weeks as unions slam reported plan to make remote learning permanent
