MinOWC treft maatregelen voor snelle plaatsing basisschoolleerlingen

The Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture (MinOWC) has introduced additional measures to expedite the placement of primary school students. In an effort to ensure every child has access to education, students are being relocated to alternative schools or venues, even if these are outside their residential areas. To facilitate these transitions, new school bus routes are being established. According to the ministry, these are temporary and practical solutions aimed at completing the placement process. While vocational education placements have already been finalized, the General Education (AVO) sector, covering grades 1 through 8, is still in the process of assigning the remaining students. Parents or guardians of students who have not yet received placement notifications are encouraged to contact the AVO Secretariat directly at +597 852-1048. The ministry is calling for public understanding and cooperation, emphasizing that these interim measures are designed to enable all students to attend regular schooling as quickly as possible. These steps are being taken in anticipation of long-term solutions, such as the construction of new schools in areas experiencing continuous growth in student numbers.
