Primary and Secondary Minister Dr Lazarus Dokora said Government lashed out at Private schools for turning away pupils yesterday and on Wednesday, in a planned stay-away saying any deviation from the school calendar will not be tolerated.

Addressing the media on the disruption at schools, Dokora said Government and the Association of Trust Schools had come up with an agreement after holding a closed door meeting yesterday.

He said the schools in question had acted on unfounded information circulating on social media and said any deviation from the school calendar other than what the ministry has prescribed would not be tolerated.

The meeting was attended by representatives of ATS and schools including Hellenic Academy, Gateway and Bishopslea Preparatory School.

Minister Dokora said together with the ATS, they had agreed that professional channels of communication should be respected.

Questioned on Government action if the directive was not heeded, Minister Dokora, who was accompanied by his permanent secretary, Dr Sylvia Utete-Masango, said: “We do not have to speculate, we will cross the bridge when we get there.”
