RE: GRADUAL AND SAFE RESUMPTION OF CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN SCHOOLS

In February 2021, the Ministry of Education with the support of the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Sports Culture and Heritage developed the Covid-19 safety and health protocols/guidelines that will enable the gradual and safe resumption of Co-curricular Activities in Education Institution which were suspended in 2020.

The guidelines were later presented to National Co-curricular Activities Steering Committee and the Regional Co-Curricular Activities Management Committees. These protocols have been cascaded to all levels and disseminated to all schools.

On 18^th October 2021, the Ministry of Health recommended that interschool sporting activities may gradually resume with strict adherence to the current guidelines prepared by MOE. The initial focus should be non-contact/low contact activities as guided in the protocols.

In view of the above development, the Ministry of Education advises the Principals to engage learners in internal co-curricular activities and guided inter-school contests over the weekend and after classes.

Meanwhile, the Ministry is working on modalities for the full resumption of activities in due course.
