Vaccinated students will not be separated from those students who are not vaccinated when they return to school.

This has been confirmed by the Minister for Education Premila Kumar when questioned if vaccinated students will be made to sit separately from those who are unvaccinated.

Kumar says they will not discriminate against any child because the Ministry of Health has not made vaccination mandatory for students.

The school term for Years 12 and 13 will be from 1st November 2021 to 28th January 2022.

There is still no confirmation on when the rest of the students will return to school.
