Mozambique has announced that schools will reopen from Monday after being closed in some cases for as long as a year.
President Filipe Nyusi said the risk of coronavirus transmission was low but schools “could interrupt their face-to-face teaching activities or begin them at a later date” as needed.
It applies to all levels of education, although pre-school nurseries were not mentioned in the president’s speech.
Teachers told BBC News that they backed the move.
