Safe Back to School: Re-opening after COVID-19 Donor Brief
As governments prepare to reopen schools and other learning sites, ministries and other education providers, must minimise the risk of further transmission of COVID-19, while at the same time address learning inequalities and protection concerns exacerbated by the crisis. An integrated and coordinated approach, looking at WASH, health and education needs, is essential while preparing for school reopening.
National standards and regulations for reopening, whether on required WASH facilities, personal protective equipment, physical distancing or school health measures, might have a considerable impact on learning if not properly resourced. Without those resources, education providers may be faced with a hard choice.
