Ebola: What schools Must do before Re-Opening! |(Photo)

Although stakeholders have lauded the efforts of the government to postpone resumption of all private and public primary and secondary schools, Nigerian children cannot stay home forever for fear of the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD. Sooner or later, primary and public schools will have to resume whether or not the scourge ends. It is with this in mind that managers of schools have put in place measures to prevent further spread upon resumption.

Recall that the EVD was brought into Nigeria last month with the arrival of the late American-Liberian, Patrick Sawyer, and it has killed over five people.

While announcing the shift in the resumption of schools, the Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, charged all state Ministries of Education to immediately organise and ensure that, at least, two staff in all public and private schools are trained on how to handle any suspected case of Ebola and also embark on immediate sensitization of all teaching and non-teaching staff in all schools on preventive measures.
