in Isreali schools, parents advised the government not to give in to such pressure, UJUNWA ATUEYI reports.
Besides, they also said schools need to resume in order to reduce the risk of children losing key parts of their education and going into petty crimes due to idleness. “With 347 pupils and teachers testing positive to the virus, 127 schools did not reopen on Sunday, the beginning of the workweek in Israel. The number of pupils and staff in-home quarantine grew from slightly more than 16,000 to almost 17,500 in little more than 12 hours. Most of the new cases are from Jerusalem, particularly from one high school, the Hebrew Gymnasium, where, as of Sunday, 148 pupils and staff have tested positive.
The health ministry further revealed that 297 people have died from the virus since its outbreak, necessitating the shut down of some schools after reopening. The Guardian sought the views of some parents to ascertain their readiness for schools’ resumption, interestingly; the majority of them felt proprietors are racing against time for selfish reasons.
“They are simply after money. This is a pandemic case; I believe some school owners are aware of public health. Health is wealth and should be prioritised at all times. Majority of them clamouring for resumption does not have any safety measure or preventive strategy. Counseling government to put in place efficient containment measures and wait for the tide to subside before reopening of schools, Omale challenged school proprietors not to put their material interest above the well-being of the society.
Aikore is not the only person doubting the true figures of the pandemic, as Mrs. Edith Anyanwu also shared her views. “We should not endanger our kids in the name of educating them. School owners should also be patient because if measures are not properly taken, mass death will be recorded and all efforts would be futile.”
