When the coronavirus first morphed into a pandemic, the hope was a vaccine would be found soon and that things would revert back to form. Not only do we not have a vaccine, but we may not get back to the old normal. Whether or not we do, we have to be safe from this virus. And nowhere is the need for health and safety more acute than in our schools, where learners are playing catch-up after 70 percent of work was lost to the lockdown.
School reopenings after lockdown needed to be consistent with the country’s overall COVID-19 health response to protect students, staff, teachers, as well as their families. They still do, because the virus threat is still very much alive.
A few measures that schools are taking to protect learners and teachers 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 learners and teachers can keep safe from the Covid 19 virus
Hygiene and social distancing protocols also need to be strictly adhered to at schools to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Such as frequently touched objects and surfaces should be cleaned hourly with diluted bleach disinfectant when in use, classrooms must be properly ventilated and cleaned at least twice a day with a disinfectant.
While some things move into a digital format, schools and educational institutions still rely on quality Print pieces that they can use as educational tools and resources for their students. Such as workbooks and curriculum guides, teacher lesson Plans, report cards, and school calendars.
