Lilongwe, October 19: Ministry of Education has directed Robert Blake Secondary School to reopen to form 1 students only as investigations into the arson that happened in September this year at the school continue.

The ministry made the directive in a letter it released on Wednesday which was signed by the ministry’s Director of Higher Education, Dr Levis Eneya and copied to Nkhoma Synod Education Department.

In the letter, the Ministry has directed all form 1 students to report back to the school on Sunday, 22nd October, 2023 and those classes will subsequently resume on Monday, 23rd October, 2023.

“The form 2 and 4 students, should be advised to register for the 2023 National Examinations at their nearest Community Day Secondary Schools as investigations are still underway and may go beyond the examination registration period,” reads the letter in part.

The letter further requests the school to arrange for remedial lessons for the form 1 students in order to make up for the lost time.

Robert Blake Secondary School was temporarily closed on September 22nd 2023 following the arson by students which saw the library and laboratories being set ablaze.
