Face-to-face teaching was suspended and the Ministry’s budget had to be re-aligned. The national and exit exam schedules had to be postponed and new protocols and practices were introduced for remote teaching and learning as well as interaction on school campuses. Amid all this disruption, the Ministry’s team, our principals, teachers, and parents rose to the challenge and responded in creative ways to allow for the continuing education of our 578,312 students.en-USeducation challengesCOVID-19pandemicremote teachingemergency educationOther
