Statement
contained in the ‘Protocols for schools and learning facilities reopening after
COVID-19 pandemic closure’, sent to the National Assembly on Tuesday.
The
document noted that each school is “required to create temporary isolation
spaces and fully-equipped clinics before reopening”.
They
have also been mandated to “establish a referral system, including protocols
and procedures to take if learners, teachers, administrators, and other
education personnel become unwell while in schools”.
Apart
from that, the Federal Government in the document mandated any state wishing to
reopen schools to “hold adequate consultations with the Presidential Task Force
on COVID-19 and the parents”.
The
guidelines also required proprietors to construct additional structures and
employ more teachers to ensure that they accommodate their students by adhering
to the two-metre spacing system in classrooms.
Private school owners have also been asked to
seek “grants to procure soaps and buckets, ensure regular safe water supply,
ensure a constant supply of learning and instructional materials, and also be
fast in paying staff salaries.
