This makes Tanzania the first east African country to reopen its schools after Covid-19 outbreak forced the government to suspend classses.
"I would like to use this opportunity to announce all schools that were closed as part of efforts to fight the Covid-19 pandemic in March this year are re-opened for students and pupils to proceed with their studies," Dr Magufuli announced.
The President's decision comes exactly three months after the government suspended school pragrammes to keep students safe from Covid-19 outbreak.
