A number of parents called this morning to express their concerns.
A number of parents reached to us this morning and showed their frustration about the mask mandates situation in schools. Some have told us that even though yesterday the Public health have uplifted some measures concerning masks in public places, their children are still being forced to wear a mask during break time in school yards.
A parent told us ” I explained to my 5 year old daughter that as from today she could remove her mask while playing in the school yard during lunch time but the teacher didn’t allow her to do so !”
An other parent mentioned the fact that even kindergarden students are wearing masks in the classrooms while on the guide lines published by the health authorities are saying different.
This morning we contacted the Education Department to report these complaints and they informed us that complaints should be filed to the liaison officer of the school concerned.
One should note that during our meetings with the Superintendent of Health Profs. Gauci and another meeting with the Permanent Secretary Mr.Vella, they told us that the parents should report their complaints to the education department.
Parents have informed us that they are willing to take legal actions if no agreement is to be reached in the following days.
