The Ministry for Education has said that it has noted the warnings due to the wind and storm, as well as the announcement from the Gozo Channel that some trips may be cancelled or the service between the islands may be suspended.

Due to this situation, the Ministry for Education advised that due to the substantial number of Gozitan educators in these schools, tomorrow Tuesday, the 20th of January Mellieha Primary School, St. Paul’s Bay Primary School and Qawra Primary School will be closed and therefore parents/guardians of students attending these schools are being informed to keep their children at home.

The Ministry said that other schools across the country will be open normally and at their normal times. However, those parents/guardians who feel that due to the bad weather they should keep their children at home, “these students will be considered excused for the following day only.”
