Sep 09, 2020

The Central Government has approved the opening of schools from September 21 and has issued standard guidelines.

Following a curfew imposed to curb the spread of corona, the federal government has given permission to reopen schools on September 21, five months later. In addition, Corona has issued standard guidelines to be followed as a precaution.

Accordingly, permission has been denied to open schools in restricted areas and for teachers and students from the area to come to school. It has been emphasized that all areas should be thoroughly cleaned before the schools reopen and attendance should be recorded in a different manner instead of the biometric system.

Activities including prayer meeting and sports are prohibited. Swimming pool should not be used, sanitizer at the entrance, body temperature test, etc. are mandatory.

The Central Government has said that only those who do not show signs of being students, teachers or staff should be allowed inside the school, and that vehicles for students should be properly cleaned and that students and teachers should always wear masks in the classroom.

Students were told not to allow pens, pencils, and notes to move within themselves, and to follow a 6-meter interval between students and to wash their hands frequently with soap or sanitizer.

The guidelines of the Central Government state that online classes can be continued as long as possible and students from 9th to 12th class can be allowed to come to school with the written consent of the parent or guardian.
