Education update – How Zim schools will initially re-open under level 2 lockdown

Zimbabwe has provided an update on how schools will start reopening under the indefinite level 2 lockdown.

Cabinet approved that only exam classes should initially open schools in order for schools to be able to put prevention measures in place. These measures include:

  • social distancing;
  • limiting of class sizes;
  • hand sanitisation,
  • mandatory wearing of masks by students and teachers

Students will be expected to return home immediately after exams. Depending on the outcome of the first phase, a way forward can then be mapped for the other classes, and the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education will subsequently issue a date for the commencement of the other classes.

Cabinet also announced that schools would cease to be used as quarantine facilities from 9 June 2020.
