The Minister of Education and Human Development, Carmelita Namashulua, says that measures to strengthen preventative measures against the new Covid-19 coronavirus are being implemented in all the country’s schools.
Speaking on Radio Mozambique’s ‘Cartas na Mesa’ programme on Monday, Carmelita Namashulua said that school boards had been instructed to reduce the total number of students gathered for school activities.
“We all know that the National Anthem is sung every day [in schools] by a general assembly of all students in shifts. The instruction we have given is that a weekly schedule is drawn up by classes; for example, two or three classes, whose number does not exceed 300 children.
“We have some classes with quite a high number of students. There are classes with 90 children, others with more than 100. So school management must check the scale of what it’s going to do, and not get together more than 300 children at a time.
“So, possibly, in one school we will have two classes singing the National Anthem, while in other schools we may have three or four classes, where classes have only 50 students.
“But we also have districts where we have over 90 students in a class. So the important thing is to make a daily schedule so children know which day they will be singing the National Anthem,” she said.
Minister Namashulua also said that schools already had hygiene kits, as well as materials for preparing informative posters.
