Ammon News - The Ministry of Education on Sunday issued a circular for private school principals to adhere to cabinet instructions on in-person learning for the second semester scheduled to begin on February 20.

Director of the Private Education at the ministry Mohammad Alwan urged private schools to stick to the set schedule, which excludes General Secondary School Certificate (Tawjihi) and international programmes students.

The ministry, he pointed out, had received observations about private schools offering additional classes for missed learning during the coming period, adding that the ministry would not bar this as long as it is not in-person and mandatory for both students and parents, and will not be considered part of in-classroom education in the second semester.

Education during the second semester will be in-person, Alwan stressed, vowing that the ministry will not tolerate any violation of the government decision and will take due action in this regard.
