JUST IN: All primary, secondary schools and JCs in Singapore to move to full home-based learning from Wednesday COVID19

SINGAPORE: All primary and secondary schools, as well as junior colleges and Millennia Institute, will shift to full home-based learning from Wednesday until the end of the term on May 28, amid a rise in COVID-19 cases in Singapore.Announcing this on Sunday, Minister for Education Chan Chun Sing said authorities understand that the shift to full home-based learning"may cause anxiety in some parents".

The decision comes after several primary school students tested positive for COVID-19 in recent days, with most of the infections linked to tuition centres.At a media conference by the COVID-19 multi-ministry task force, Mr Chan noted that some of the new mutations of the coronavirus are “much more virulent” and “seem to attack the younger children”.

Institutes of higher learning will reduce attendance on campus by converting more classes online where possible, except for essential in-person sessions like labs, practicals and final-year projects, said Mr Chan.
