Learners would have to stay two meters apart, asides other documented measures.
The federal government has released guidelines ahead of the resumption of schools at every level in the country.
This year’s examination was postponed indefinitely in April after it was earlier scheduled to commence in May.The 52-page document also showed that where the two-meter rule cannot be reasonably applied, other risk mitigation strategies may be adopted. ”Examples include early years, younger primary school children, and those with additional needs”.
The document said it was time for the education sector to plan and address the eventual safe reopening of schools and learning facilities. The document recommended what government called, “systematic, phased, safe reopening that factors resource availability to meet basic requirements and differentials in COVID-19 effect .”
“Outdoor learning can limit transmission and also allows for safe distancing between learners and teachers. The use of shelter outdoors is necessary for the protection and safety of learners and teachers. In addition, safety in all weathers and security measures are required for each location.” “In addition, lessons may be delivered more holistically to take into account various learning environments for in-person learning and various media for distance learning . Learners may have allocated time learning in each of these environments to reduce the burden placed on indoor facilities.”The document said gradual and phased reopening can be considered while prioritising learners who are vulnerable, have reduced access to distance learning modalities, and/or are in examination classes.
