Secondary schools in Barbados will reopen on Monday to allow students to complete their CXC School Based Assessments and Internal Assessments for Caribbean Vocational Qualifications.
The Ministry of Education says it has been granted permission for secondary schools to re-open and all protocols will be in place to safeguard staff and students.
It says only those students who are contacted by their teachers will be required to attend school.
Protocols for the safe reopening of schools have been devised and shared with all institutions.
The protocols have been developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Health.
