The Ministry of Education, Human Resource\u00a0 Development, Religious Affairs and Information hereby informs the public that this Ministry, in\u00a0 conjunction with the Child Month Committee has decided that the 2020\u00a0Child Month\u00a0<\/b>activities\u00a0 will run from October 15 to November 15 2020.<\/p>\n

Although the entire month of October is officially designated as Child Month, this change\u00a0 became necessary given the need to prioritize alternative arrangements to support parents and teachers for the safe reopening of schools. Therefore, there was very little time to prepare for the month of activities.<\/p>\n

Due to the need to ensure adherence to health and safety protocols and the reports of child sexual\u00a0 abuse, the focus will be on the safety of our children. Therefore, it is important that our nation\u00a0 continues to be sensitized about the need for protective procedures to keep all our children safe.\u00a0 Consequently, the Child Month Committee has decided that the theme for Child Month 2020 is<\/p>\n

\u201cKeeping All Our Children Safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/b>The focus will therefore be on health and safety during the\u00a0 COVID-19 pandemic. The broader theme for Child Month continues to be\u00a0\u201cLove the Child.\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Based on the situation that exists in schools due to COVID 19 protocols, especially the need for\u00a0 social distancing, we are scaling down activities in order to keep everyone safe.<\/p>\n

Some of the activities highlighting Child Month are:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
