The Deputy Minister for Information, Pius Enam Hadzide has disclosed that government will soon engage the Parent-Teacher Associations over incessant request for the closure of Senior High Schools after recording Covid-19 cases.
According to him, they may have a genuine concern but they will have to engage them further on their decisions to have these schools closed.
