Hyd Hygiene is a certain weapon that we have against Koronwirus. In high-age countries, as we wrote about this morning, many reports are telling about teachers that schools are going to reopen without adequate hygiene management. In sub-city African countries, however, children may be out of school for some time if the hygiene management is the test of reopening schools: only 53% of schools have basic hygiene facilities and water.
UNESCO released a resource paper to reopen schools, stating that the school is the important aspects, conditions and procedures around the reopening. A newframework to open schools built by UNESCO, but also UNICEF, World Bank and World Food Program. “Ensure the conditions that reduce the transmission of the disease, reduce essential services and supply and promote healthy behavior. In this, soap and clean water access to safe handwashing, when employees or students feel unhealthy, procedures, social dispensing and protocol on good hygiene practices. , How much is this possible?
For example, in this field to fulfill these and similar pieces on effective sanitation management issued by WHO, including a plan to give nationwide every school in Nigeria before reopening. Many attempts are going on in. Along with the mask, the cleanliness kit is allegedly being distributed in all schools in Senegal before reopening in June. For the preparation to reopen schools, the most important aspects of UNESCO paper reopening the school are further information about the current practices.
In South Africa, in the meantime, the Basic Education Minister, Angie Motheka announced that the reopening of schools from 1 June depended on those who were able to implement Covid-19 health and safety measures. However, the Teachers Association, Natu is very much confident that they will manage this task. Currently only 78% of schools in the country have basic water facilities.
It is similar that the arrival of covid has highlighted work in education, which can still be done in education because technology is used, all learning atmosphere to fit the covid-standards in hand The size of the work should not be minimized. , For example, Uganda’s school health policy is a draft for the last 18 years. There are six countries in Sub-Sahara Africa, where less than one of the five schools has handwashing facilities.

Schools are often more congested in low income settings, making it difficult to repeat the rules on small class sizes when the schools are reopened. For example, many schools have about 40 children, for example, in sub-Sahara Africa. If they want to maintain social disturbances, and there are only 15 children per class, as a result, every child is going to school only two days a week.
Complaining the work even more is the fact that, in some countries, such as in Uganda, some schools have been used as quarantine centers, something that is not helping this idea in cement that they are reunited There will be proper sanitary while doing.
And we should not forget that it is one of the highest number of displaced people due to conflict and unrest in the world, many of which are now living in camps, where rules on cleanliness and social deformity are doubled, challenging, Which includes. Camp School.
Worldwide, children often do not have equally awareness about dangers that adults do, meaning that returning to school opens the door to greater transmission risk during lock-down. Even outside the rules and facilities provided by the official school, some factors of hygiene are beyond anyone’s control: children can rarely wash their uniforms, they with soft drinks -along with their food You can also share utensils, such as cups or bowls.
While we should clearly be a factor to the extent to the extent to which the school is suffering, it is important to provide a safe learning environment equally for learning ability when classes again Start. It is not a coincidence that a complete goal in SDG 4 is dedicated to this issue. This is any kind of chance to remind the policy makers of that fact, and often children have to learn to highlight the environment of the pathetic school. It is important that we make sure that the schools are safe, and good quality when they open again, especially when, in,, in, in, current conditions, their health as well as their education depends on it. .
