'S Advice
Keep children in school when healthy

If your child isn’t displaying any symptoms such as a fever or cough it’s best to keep them in school –
unless a public health advisory or other relevant warning or official advice has been issued affecting
your child’s school.
Instead of keeping children out of school, teach them good hand and respiratory hygiene practices for
school and elsewhere, like frequent handwashing (see below), covering a cough or sneeze with a
flexed elbow or tissue, then throwing away the tissue into a closed bin, and not touching their eyes,
mouths or noses if they haven’t properly washed their hands.
Washing hands properly

Step 1: Wet hands with safe running water
Step 2: Apply enough soap to cover wet hands
Step 3: Scrub all surfaces of the hands – including backs of hands, between fingers and under nails –
for at least 20 seconds
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with running water
Step 5: Dry hands with a clean, dry cloth, single-use towel or hand drier as available
Wash your hands often, especially before and after eating; after blowing your nose, coughing, or
sneezing; going to the bathroom/ toilets/latrines and whenever your hands are visibly dirty. If soap

and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Always wash hands with soap and water, if hands are visibly dirty.

What questions should I be asking my child’s teacher or school administrator?
During such a worrying and disruptive time, it’s natural to have a lot of questions. Some helpful ones you may want to ask include:
• What steps has the school taken to help ensure the safety of students?
• How will the school support the mental health of students and combat any stigma against people who have been sick?
• How will the school refer children who may need referrals for specialized support?
• Will any of the school’s safeguarding and bullying policies change once schools start to re-open?
• How can I support school safety efforts, including through parent-teacher committees or other networks.

What should I do if my child has fallen behind?
Students around the world have shown just how much they want to keep learning. They have persisted with their lessons under difficult circumstances, with the support of their dedicated teachers and parents.
But many children will need extra support to catch up on their learning when schools reopen.
Many schools are making plans for catch-up lessons to help bring students back up to speed. This might include starting the year with refresher or remedial courses, after-school programmes or supplemental assignments to be done at home. Given the possibility that many schools may not open full time or for all grades, schools may implement ‘blended learning’ models, a mix of classroom instruction and remote education (self-study through take home exercises, radio, TV or online learning).
Give extra support to your child at home by creating a routine around school and schoolwork. This can help if they are feeling restless and having trouble focusing.
You may want to contact your child’s teacher or school to ask questions and stay informed. Be sure to let them know if your child is facing specific challenges, like grief over a family loss or heightened anxiety due to the pandemic.
