As schools open for the 2021 academic year, authorities still have the important task of keeping students and teachers protected from Covid-19. Covid-19 infections have been flaring up in the Cape provinces and the curve has barely flattened in other parts of the country. There has even been speculation that the government may be forced to lock down some areas. But, with stricter enforcement of safety measures at schools, this can be avoided.
School reopenings need to be consistent with each country’s overall COVID-19 health response to protect students, staff, teachers, as well as their families.
Here are a few of the Covid-19 safety measures that schools are taking:
- 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
Learners must desist from sharing Stationery and physical contact
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 will still rely on quality Print products for their educational tools and resources for their students and staff. They will need workbooks and curriculum guides, teacher lesson Plans, report cards, and school Calendars.
