In-Person Format Effective as of September 22nd
As of September 22nd, its back to the classroom for new drivers. The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) is a formal announcement stating that starting September 22, all classroom instruction provided by professional driving schools will transition back to an in-person format.
The RMV noted that it has been in communication with driving schools, customers and other stakeholders, explaining how this change will result in enhanced student engagement, stronger learning outcomes, equal opportunities for all schools, and improved road safety.
The RMV says there will be a maximum of 30 students per class – for a student/teacher ratio of 30:1. Research supports that in-person learning fosters better focus, higher engagement, and more effective preparation for safe driving.
