#JamaicaGleaner #BackToSchool #COVID #MinistryOfEducation OCTOBER 27, 2021: Administrators at a number of infant schools say that some parents are still uneasy about the restart of in-person classes amid the coronavirus pandemic despite the Ministry of Education giving the green light for children five years old and younger under specific safety conditions. Those who previously had no alternative but to leave their children at home while they went to work are breathing a sigh of relief, as are principals who are overjoyed to meet their students in person. “The parents are more than happy. They were just elated,” said Nadine Cunningham, principal of Bright Sparks Nursery and Learning Centre, who spoke with The Gleaner on Monday, October 25.
