The Sindh government has opposed the federal government’s decision to reopen schools for regular five to six days classes a week from March 1.

The Sindh Education Minister, Saeed Ghani, while speaking to the media on Sunday, said that the coronavirus cases might have reduced in the country, but the pandemic is not over yet. He reiterated that the provincial government would continue the condition of 50 percent attendance for kids until the pandemic is over.

Ghani said that the federation’s decision has created confusion among young children.

How will children maintain social distancing if we allow 100 percent attendance? Once the pandemic ends, all children will be allowed to go to school.

The provincial minister underscored the need to implement the coronavirus standard operating procedures (SOPs) and urged students to maintain social distancing in the classrooms.

Saeed Ghani maintained that though the federal government has allowed 100 percent attendance across schools, the Sindh Education Department has its steering committee responsible for provincial decisions.

He noted that the decision to reopen schools was made by the steering committee, which now suggests continuing schools on alternative days with 50 percent attendance.
