Guidelines/Protocols for the Returning to Schools in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Introduction and Purpose
The Ministry / Department of Education, in its ongoing response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, uses this forum to release the following Guidelines/Protocols for the reopening of Primary and Secondary Schools in the Turks and Caicos Islands. These Guidelines are designed to promote the health and safety of all Administrators, Teachers, Students, Parents, Visitors and School Stakeholders. It is anticipated that these Guidelines will help to reduce the risk of Covid-19 exposure and spread during School sessions and activities. It is imperative that all Schools take the necessary precautions to prevent the transmission of this virus and follow closely prevention practices outlined by both the Ministries of Education and Health.
School Administrators must ensure that their School facilities are disinfected and clean thoroughly on a daily basis. The promotion of frequent handwashing and proper sanitation has to be institutionalized at all Schools. It is vital that we follow all of the necessary precautionary guidelines and protocols to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 in our School settings.
This document therefore outlines such Protocols. It is designed to be flexible and can be adapted to each unique School context within the country. Indeed, it will be updated as the situation changes.
