The Department of Meteorology has issued a forecast indicating a potential increase in high temperatures over the next three days (28th, 29th, and 1st). In response, the Ministry of Education has introduced new instructions for schools across the island.
According to the latest directives, schools are prohibited from conducting any outdoor sports training activities or sports events during periods of high temperature for the next three days. This precautionary measure is aimed at safeguarding the health and well-being of students amidst rising temperatures.
Health professionals have repeatedly emphasized the risks associated with prolonged exposure to the sun, including the potential for heat stroke and other serious health complications among children.
In light of these warnings, the Ministry urges schools to prioritize student safety by refraining from outdoor activities during the specified period of elevated temperatures.
