Namibia’s Education Ministry on Sunday resolved to amend the school calendar and close all public and private schools from March 16 to April 14 following two confirmed coronavirus cases.
In a statement, acting minister Martin Andjaba stated that school, colleges, national art galleries as well as libraries will be closed until the advised date.
“Based on these amendments, emphasis must be placed on the second term for teaching, learning and assessment to prepare learners for the second term examinations. This examination will cover the content of both the first and second term therefore learners will not receive a first-term progress report,” Andjaba said.
Namibia on Saturday confirmed two positive cases of COVID-19.
The country has also suspended inbound and outbound travel to and from Qatar, Ethiopia and Germany. Enditem
