In an effort to calm growing anxiety among parents including those with candidate students the Minster of Education, Mrs. Janet Museveni has announced a new roadmap to re-open schools and universities as early as April 27th,2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a\u00a0 statement to the nation, Mrs. Museveni announced that the 1st \u00a0term which was suspended to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic will resume on April 27th,2020 and will run-up to\u00a0 June 12th,2020. This in effect means that a 14-day curfew that was declared by President\u00a0 Yoweri Museveni would have been lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In what would come as a relief for many parents, Ms. Museveni said that there will be no additional fees charged when the first term resumes. She also stated that her ministry had suspended examinations\u00a0 during the COVID -19 crisis \u201cbecause some students\u00a0 lack the infrastructure to do them.\u201d Some schools and universities were preparing to conduct online examinations for their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere will be no formal or end of term examinations at the end of the first term. Schools will only have one mock examination which will happen at the end of the second term,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minister said that the second term will commence on June 22nd<\/sup> and end on\u00a0 September 4th<\/sup>,2020. The 3rd\u00a0 term will open on \u00a0September\u00a0 21st and close on the 19th December 2020.\u00a0 The ministry has organized lessons for students on radio and TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Health and education experts, however, have called on the government to put in place safety measures for all institutions of learning before the first term resumes given that the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic will still be prevalent across the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In an effort to calm growing anxiety among parents including those with candidate students the Minster of Education, Mrs. Janet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":888,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/received_2531023870485306.jpeg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2699,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/governement-will-not-open-nurserykindergarten-schools-until-covid-19-is-over\/","url_meta":{"origin":887,"position":0},"title":"GOVERNEMENT WILL NOT OPEN NURSERY,KINDERGARTEN SCHOOLS UNTIL COVID 19 IS OVER","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"February 6, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports Janet Museveni has said there will be no more Nursery\/Kindergarten school until the COVID19 crisis is over.
