In many schools, a significant number of students, particularly in primary classes, were absent on Tuesday because of the chill. Principal Rodney Borneo said parents requested online classes. “We received a number of emails from parents on Tuesday morning requesting online classes due to the weather. “We are not shifting to online classes, but absent students will be provided with classwork through our online platform,” he said. Relaxed school timings for a few days would be helpful.”Several schools have instructed students to dress adequately to stay warm.
