The Manitoba government has announced that students will be able to return to in-person classes at schools across the province on January 17th after the week of remote learning put into place at the start of the new year by Premier Heather Stefanson.
The one week of remote learning was meant to give schools and school divisions a chance to work on plans for a safe return and address the staff shortages that may be caused by the spread of the Omicron variant.
Education Minister Cliff Cullen said that the province is continuing to make sure students will be able to succeed when they return to school on Monday thanks to investments of over 63 million dollars from the province that is being put towards helping keep students safe in the classroom.
