Government of St. Kitts and Nevis Ministry of Education Guidelines for the Re-opening of Early Childhood Centres, Primary and Secondary Schools, AVEC and NSTP School Year 2021 – 2022 1st September, 2021 FOREWORD It has been a tremendous pleasure for me to serve as your Minister of Education and I look forward to the year ahead with even greater enthusiasm.
I must admit that during this past school year I have developed a much greater appreciation for the vast expanse of work in the Ministry of Education in St. Kitts and Nevis.

Education as we know it, is about the development of our people especially our children.

As cliché as it may sound the children are our future and they will one day take their rightful place in the community to continue to build our great nation.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of the State to make provisions for our children to access quality education and training opportunities that would prepare them for nation building.

Hence, the Ministry of Education continues to place its confidence in and pledge its support for our teachers and administrators as they make many personal sacrifices in the process of molding and inspiring young impressionable minds.
This document was prepared to provide guidance to school based administrators in the overall management of their schools.

It has four major components.

Part A outlines important days and dates for the school year 2021 – 2022, Part B describes the logistical arrangements for school operations, Part C describes school operations and Part D gives the health and safety protocols in light of the pandemic.

Best wishes for a productive and safe 2021-2022 school year!

CLEANING OF SPACES In order to prevent the spread of COVID 19, it is important that there is regular cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting of spaces in all of our schools – restrooms, offices, labs, classrooms, and specialist Rooms.
Resources that are used by staff members and students should be sanitised regularly such as, phones, pens and whiteboard markers.
High/Frequently Touch Surfaces • Doors and Windows • Handles • Work surfaces • Personal Computer Keyboards • Touchscreen Personal Devices • Counter Tops, as well as Kitchen and Food Prep Areas • Bathroom Surfaces • Toilets and Taps Effective Cleaning Solutions ● Hands - Antibacterial Soap and Alcohol at 70-90% concentration ● Walls, floors, toilet bowls - Detergent/disinfecting liquids such as: ⮚ Fabuloso, dettol, pinesol, chemtron.
⮚ Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite Solution): should be used for all bathroom surfaces • Recommended Concentration = 0.1% or 1,000ppm • Equivalent to 1 part of 5% strength household bleach to 49 parts of water.

• Specifically, use a half cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water; mix them in this way: measure the bleach and then throw it into the container, then add the water to bring it to the one gallon marker.
(Using the one gallon water bottles is an easy and simple way to do this) Bleach solution should be stored in a dark area • High touch surfaces: ✔ Alcohol at 70-90% concentration ✔ Hydrogen peroxide: is an alternative that can be used for wiping frequently touched spaces (door-knobs, handles, desk surfaces etc.)

as it does not have the strong scent of bleach.


28 St. Kitts and Nevis Guidelines for the Re-Opening of Educational Institutions *All disinfectant solutions should be freshly prepared each day and stored in opaque containers and in well ventilated, covered areas.

Label bottles to indicate what solutions they contain Effective Cleaning Strategy ● Clean all surfaces with water and soap or a detergent FIRST to remove organic matter/dirt.
