(Colin Butler/CBC) Even though community organizations say they're better prepared to help Nova Scotians through a second school shutdown, they also worry some students will struggle and fall behind. The province closed all schools after confirming another record number of COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, and more than 120,000 students will begin learning from home Thursday. Remote learning is a daunting task for most parents, especially those who don't have access to reliable internet.
