The Jamaica Association of Principals of Secondary Schools, JAPSS, is reporting an improvement in the number of students registered for remote classes across the island.
Monday marked the first day of classes for the new school year.
But with the surge in Covid-19 cases, the government has delayed the resumption of face-to-face classes until October.
JAPPS President, Linvern Wright, says many of the stakeholders are better equipped to navigate the online system.
Stevian Simmonds has more in this report.
Mr. Wright says most schools are focussing on orientations this week.
He says a number of schools are reporting an increase in the number of students on their online platforms.
Mr. Wright says the most pressing need is for telecommunication companies to provide reliable and constant Internet service.
According to Mr. Wright, the proposed resumption of face-to-face classes in October is shaping up to be an uphill task.
It’s why the president of the Jamaica Teachers’ Association President, Winston Smith is urging parents to get their children vaccinated against Covid-19.
