Parents Association asks Delhi LG to shift covid vaccination centre from govt schools
The All India Parents' Association (AIPA) has reached out to Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal demanding that the vaccination centers running in government schools be shifted to other places and teachers posted on Covid duty be called back. The AIPA has written to the Delhi Lieutant Governor considering the reopening of schools in the national capital amid the reduction in COVID-19 cases.
AIPA president Ashok Agarwal in a letter said "Now that students have started returning to school, vaccination centres running in government schools should be shifted to other places. Also, teachers posted on Covid duties should be called back since the number of cases has gone down considerably."
It is important to provide a safe and secure environment to students where they can concentrate on studies as "there has already been a significant learning loss due to the Covid-induced school closure", he said.
The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) has earlier announced reopening of higher education institutions and coaching centres along with schools for classes 9-12 from February 7. It also decided to reopen schools for students from nursery to class 8 from February 14.
As per the guidelines issued by the DDMA, the area or part of a school that is being used for vaccination or ration distribution should be properly separated or demarcated from the area which is being used for academic activities.
"In this regard, district administration shall cordon off the area demarcated for the vaccination or ration distribution centre, make separate entry or exit for this purpose and deploy sufficient number of civil defense volunteers to avoid mingling of students with the persons coming to vaccination or ration distribution centres," the guidelines stated.
