As term two starts for the region's school children, it's back to school work but not yet back to school, says Craig Campbell-Smart, Taranaki Civil Defence Group Controller.
"Wednesday, April 15 sees the start of the revised term two for the year, and though schools and playgrounds remain closed under Alert Level 4, the school work is set continue.
"Many of our region's educators have done a fantastic job to get online learning activities out to their students over the last few weeks, and this has been a huge benefit to many bubbles to help maintain routine and continuity."
Working closely with schools, the Ministry of Education has developed a package of resources to help deliver learning at home. These include online learning channels, helping identify and support students to access devices, internet connectivity or hard copy learning materials, and even two specialist television channels, he says.
"From tomorrow this work will be supplemented by a range of central resources to support learning and help schools and parents to deliver the curriculum remotely."
