Detailed guidelines on reopening special education for in-person learning for children by the end of next week have not yet been issued to schools. 

Following the announcement on Monday evening that an agreement had been reached on reopening special schools and classes at primary level, teachers and principals were advised that detailed plans should be issued to them shortly.
