The rate of new Ebola cases has slowed in recent weeks in Liberia where the government and international organizations with support from the United States stepped up efforts to stop the spread of the disease.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf announced at the weekend that schools would reopen on Feb. 2 but did not specify whether the measure would apply to the entire education system.
George Wuo, a director at the Education Ministry, said authorities were assessing around 500 schools across the country for reopening.
"We are negotiating with our partners for the distribution of non-contact thermometers and buckets for hand washing to all schools in the Republic of Liberia," Wuo said.
The school year was due to start in September but the government decided in August to keep students at home in order to prevent further spread of the disease.
Wow...that's goodnews at d end of the tunnel ....so happy at least its finally over..Weldon team EVD
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.. Sad for d students who have been at home for so long now, well it was for their own good, thank God is now gonna be open..nice one
ReplyDeleteA good motive by the government,but my worry is,it woud take a while before they would adjust to the fact that the person sitting next to them might have the disease,that fear would still be in them,I feel its a bit to early to re_open the skuls..
