Teachers to take on more

But mental health experts worry that the added responsibility to keep Covid-19 out of schools will lead to anxiety, stress and depression.

FOLLOWING standard operating procedures (SOPs) put forward by the government can prevent a second wave of Covid-19 cases, which teachers are afraid may happen when over half-a-million upper secondary students return to school next week.

And, it will be the teachers who will have to make sure that the Education Ministry’s stringent school reopening management guidelines which spell out the necessary steps that need to be taken to protect students, teachers, staff and visitors during the pandemic, are adhered to.
