Manitoba’s education minister, Cliff Cullen says the plan is for all students to return to in-class learning by the fall.
Cullen says the government has set aside money for students who can’t return to in-person learning due to medical reasons.
“Given that there will be some students required medically not to return, we have set aside $5 million for a remote learning support center to support those students.”
Cullen says a priority for the next school year will continue to be on the health and safety of students and staff.
“Final decisions about what measures may need to be in place will be announced in August based on public health considerations in place at that time. We will continue to work with school divisions over the summer.”
The province has said that it anticipates some level of public health measures in the fall.
