Since Sunday (21st March 2021), there have been eighty-five (85) reported cases of COVID-19 in Trinidad and Tobago - in just five (5) days. This new increase in cases does not bode well for Government’s plan to allow Standard 5 students to return to schools on 12th April 2021. One of the key stipulations made by the Government for Phase 2 of the re-opening of schools in April, was that cases had to remain low in order for this to happen. The plan was to have Standard 5 students return to schools in order for them to prepare for the Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) Exam, currently scheduled for 10th June 2021. Due to this developing situation, the Ministry of Education is now set to meet with the Ministry of Health next week to discuss the re-opening of schools. This was revealed by Minister of Education, Dr. Nyan Gadsby-Dolly, in response to an inquiry from Loop News on whether things were on track for the next phase of the physical return to schools. Gadsby-Dolly indicated that the discussions between the Ministries would revolve around the latest spike in COVID-19 infections and whether any change in plans and protocols would be necessary. Forms 4 - 6 students returned to schools in February during Phase 1 of the planned re-opening, which resulted in one (1) COVID-19 case being reported at the Mason Hall Secondary School in Tobago. If cases continue to dramatically rise in T&T, Standard 5 students will not return to schools in April and Forms 4 - 6 students may also be sent home.
