Confusion mars schools opening

CHAOS characterised the opening of schools yesterday after some non-examination classes turned up and were sent back home, while most teachers did not report for work  saying they would only do so after their salary demands are met.

Only Grade 7, Form 4 and Upper 6 pupils, which are examination classes, were expected to resume classes yesterday, while the rest of the classes will join them on Monday.

Snap surveys by NewsDay revealed that at some schools, mostly private ones, authorities were demanding COVID-19 test results from pupils before they were allowed to enter the premises.
