The Federal Government has released guidelines ahead of the planned resumption of schools at every level in the country but failed to disclose the dates.
The guidelines outlined actions, measures and requirements needed for the safe reopening of schools after the COVID – 19 pandemic.
“In these circumstances, risk assessments must be undertaken with the best interests of the learners, teachers, and other education personnel in mind. The scenarios require organizing learners and children into small groups with consistent membership and compliance with the risk mitigation strategies. The membership of these groups should not change unless the NCDC public health guideline suggests otherwise.
THE PUNCH reported that schools and all learning facilities were closed due to Coronavirus pandemic in order to safeguard the health and general wellbeing of children, youths, teachers and educational personnel. “As a responsible government, it is also our duty to provide comprehensive guidelines for a safe and hitch-free reopening of schools and learning facilities. We do so knowing that the health, safety, and security of learners, teachers, education personnel, and families are priorities”, it stressed.
He said the guidelines also highlight the urgent need to maintain and improve upon distance-learning programs.
