Government’s silence on schools, which have defied a phased school reopening, has left the education sector in confusion with many parents not sure what to do next for their children.
Various stakeholders yesterday told Daily Monitor that they had observed the inconsistences in implementing the standard operating procedures of staggered school reopening to allow social distancing among learners in a bid to control the spread of coronavirus.
Mr Ismail Mulindwa, the Ministry of Education director of basic education and the ministry’s Covid-19 taskforce chairman, blamed mainly the private sector for defying the rules, warning that those who will be implicated in their impromptu inspections risk losing licences.
