MOE emphasized that the decision is rooted in a commitment to the well-being of the academic community

By keeping students and staff off-campus, the government aims to ensure maximum safety during a period of heightened regional activity.

Authorities have clarified that this is a dynamic situation. The Ministry will conduct weekly reviews of the current landscape, noting that the April 17 date is subject to change, either by further extension or a return to campuses, depending on how regional developments unfold.

This latest announcement is a continuation of a remote learning phase that began earlier this spring.

The Ministry has reassured parents and students that the quality of education will not be compromised. Teachers and administrative staff are expected to continue delivering the full curriculum through established online platforms, ensuring that the academic year progresses smoothly despite the external challenges.

As the situation remains fluid, residents are encouraged to stay tuned to official government channels for weekly updates regarding the return to in-person instruction.
