The town hall will provide parents, educators and students with a platform to voice their concerns and provide them with expert responses.

“As the ministry moves forward with its phased reopening plans for a number of schools, there is a recognised need to include the general public as part of its sensitisation plan,” portfolio minister Fayval Williams told Parliament yesterday.
