Thanks to Covid, the year 2020 became a year of postponements, deferments, and cancellations of important events, from exhibitions, global sports tournaments, to business conferences. For much of the school calendar, schools and colleges were shuttered as we prioritised the fight against the coronavirus.
As schools were opened after lockdown, amid much apprehension and uncertainty, the safety of students and teachers was top of mind for government and the education sector at large. To ensure the virus did not flare in schools and force and closure, it was important for both teachers and learners to wear masks, sanitise regularly, and observe social distancing.
A few measures that schools must continue to take in 2021 as schools open with the virus still wreaking havoc include:
- Staggering the start and close of the school day
- Staggering mealtimes
- Moving classes to temporary spaces or outdoors
- Holding school in shifts to reduce class size
How to printing will continue to be crucial as schools battle Covid in 2021
Hygiene and social distancing protocols must be strictly adhered to at schools to prevent new infections in schools. Frequently touched objects and surfaces should be cleaned hourly with diluted bleach disinfectant when in use, while classrooms must be properly ventilated and cleaned at least twice a day with a disinfectant.
While there has been a shift towards online lessons, not all students have the means to make this a viable way of learning. Many schools and educational institutions must still conduct in-person classes that rely on quality printed materials. Schools must therefore continue to invest in educational tools and resources for their students and teachers, such as workbooks and curriculum guides, teacher lesson Plans, report cards, and school Calendars.
Beyond Stationery and the standard printed materials, schools must ensure adequate supplies of face masks, social distancing signage, and Posters that highlight the importance of wearing masks and washing hands. All these are central to keeping Covid out of our schools in 2021.
