According to a Joint Executive Decree of the Ministry of Public Administration, Labor and Social Security, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, the suspension of fee charges embodies all subsystems of education and vocational training.
The government ordered last April, the collection of up to 60 percent of fees in private education institutions and up to 25 percent in co-financed institutions.
The suspension of fees charges will be in force until classes are resumed in the country.
The government adds that the resumption of the academic year and vocational activities will be dependent on the epidemiological evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.
The Angolan government had previously determined the resumption of classes in three distinct stages, from July 13, for university students and secondary education, while primary education was slated for July 27.
Classes in Angola have been suspended since March, when the country registered the first two positive cases of Covid-19.
Angola reported on Thursday 62 positive cases of COVID-19 the highest number it has registered so far. The country has a total 458 positive cases , 23 deaths, 117 recovered and 319 active cases.
The information was released Thursday evening in Luanda by the Health minister, Sílvia Lutucuta, who said one death was recorded in the same period.
Delivering the daily covid-19 update briefing, the minister said the positive cases include 12 females, all in the capital Luanda.
She said the dead was a patient who was in critical condition in a Luanda covid-19 hospital.
The minister also explained that the positive cases were detected following a mass testing operation in places of high concentration of people like markets, police and military facilities and screening centres. With these new cases, Angola’s covid-19 statistics show 458 positive cases, 23 deaths, 117 recoveries and 319 active patients
