The third term of the academic year 2020/2021, started last April 12, 2021 with many school administrations, taking firm resolutions and determination to complete the syllabus for the academic year while respecting barrier measures against COVID-19.
In many schools across Menchum Division, focus this term is ensuring that the students and pupils cover over 90% of their coursework especially as the academic year began late due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the Government Practising Nursery School Wum, the Headmistress explained that her pupils will have an extra hour for catch-up classes.
This is same for students in almost all secondary schools within the division, who already had extra classes during the Easter holidays.
As concerns fighting the COVID-19 on school campuses, school administrations are very careful.
A Head Teacher made us know that in his school, there are points for the washing of hands spread across the campus. He added that children are encouraged to usually put on their masks and use hand sanitisers.
A major innovation at this school is the stopping of playing outside during break. “The children eat in their classrooms so as to avoid them mixing up amongst themselves which could encourage the spread of COVID-19,” the Head Teacher stated.
