All schools and early childhood centres and tertiaries are to shut for a week in Auckland.
Auckland principals say the Education Ministry has ordered a week-long shut down of all of the region’s education organisations.
They say all Auckland schools, early childhood services and tertiary institutes must remain shut for physical instruction until 7 February.
Principals were told the instruction was issued after the National Emergency Management Agency asked the ministry to help minimise traffic on Auckland roads while vital infrastructure is repaired.
