Transport Arrangements Being Made For Schools Reopening

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Monica Mutsvangwa last night announced that the government is making suitable transport arrangements for when schools reopen to facilitate the movement of learners, teaching and non-teaching staff to schools, both for travel between and within cities.

The minister made the announcement giving details of progress after a national taskforce meeting held at State House.

“In order to cater for the re-opening of schools, which will see learners, teaching and non-teaching staff commuting to and from schools, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development is developing guidelines that will assist schools in their preparations for operation as well as intercity passenger transport services,” said Minister Mutsvangwa.

She said a standard operating procedure in schools under Covid-19 had been circulated to all schools for them to input before the document is finalised.
