There is a possibility that teachers may not go out to work until the new school term begins.

The Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association is suggesting that all schools be closed the S.E.A. preparations go online.

President Antonia De-Freitas says the suggestions were made at a meeting with the Ministry of Education earlier this week.

She says recent COVID scares at primary schools and the increasing number of cases in the country is enough to keep students and teachers home.

Mrs. De Freitas is further advising that some degree of caution be used.

As of yesterday, a total of 11 schools were closed for sanitization, following possible COVID-19 exposures.
