Covid 19 & Schools Resumption: Open Letter To Engr. Seyi Makinde


Dear Governor, HE Engineer Seyi Makinde, it is very obvious that Covid19 will be here with us till 2021 whether a vaccine is discovered tomorrow or next week. With regard to the above assumption, alternatives should be put in place for revivication of student's education in the state and I have the following proposal for opening of schools in the state:

 1. Decongestion of (student population in) schools should be done by creation of morning and afternoon school periods. Students should be divided into these classes.

2. Culposory use of nose mask by all students.

3. Compulsory use of sunglasses by students to protect them from getting invected when a person sneezes on their face.

4. Provision of handwash kits for every school and for students use - with a dedicated persons incharge to operate, mandate and monitor its use.

5. Organization of sensitization and awarenenss programs or student assemblies about covid19.

-- The proposal above should be started with secondary school students first and also, senior students of the primary schools.

6. Students in higher institution should incoporate the above, but may conduct lectures through online videos
(operations; something similar to the distant learning progran (NOUN) but all student must be within school environment to take and submit assignments)

I hope you will discuss my suggestions with the Oyo covid19 taskforce.

Thanks.
