Muscat: Oman's Education Ministry has announced that students of classes one, four, five, nine and 11 will adopt a blended model of learning, as part of precautionary measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
The move, which comes as part of a gradual process of bringing students back to classrooms, will soon be expanded to other grades, Times of Oman reported.
“We would like to assure everyone that not all students will go back to schools this coming Sunday,” said ministry undersecretary Dr Abdullah Ambusaidi.
“There will be a gradual return during the next week and over time, so that this can happen in a safe and easy manner.”
