The Maldives National University's Chancellor, Dr. Hassan Hameed, has stated that he hopes schools, colleges, and universities can begin teaching in-person in 2021.

In his tweet, Dr. Hassan Hameed said that in the past seven days, the average number of Covi-19 positive cases were on average 24.3, which is the lowest since July 9. He added that with a decrease in Covid-19 positive cases, hopefully, schools, colleges, and universities can begin teaching in-person in 2021.



Along with reported cases of coronavirus, the government introduced a series of unprecedented restrictive and social distancing measures, including a nationwide closing of government offices, schools, colleges, and universities and continued distance learning on online platforms. Although it is currently school holidays, the government did re-start teaching in-person for students studying in higher grades.
