PRIME Minister Dr Keith Rowley is wishing the nation’s schoolchildren all God’s blessings and guidance as they return to physical school.
“Our children hold our promise and they deserve all our support. Watch them go. Help them grow,” was the message he sent to the nation on Tuesday.
Dr Rowely said the country’s future depended on their protection and their success.
He said, “After almost two years of experiencing the worst trauma, stress and overall deprivation in their development, our children are cautiously stepping back out into school as we knew it.
“I am so happy.”
Dr Rowley said, “The pandemic has made demands on our young ones that none of the rest of us have ever been called upon to deal with.
“As the schools open, I implore all citizens to remember that we are still not out of the woods yet. The pandemic is still a very real threat and our individual cooperation is required to ameliorate its effects.”
He added, “It’s a good, long-awaited day. Let us acknowledge its significance and continue working diligently and responsibly towards even better days.”
Students from pre-school to secondary school would return to physical face-to-face classes as usual prior to Covid.
