Private secondary schools: Administrators adjust sitting positions.
Monday, May 18,2020, three days after the Prime Minister, Head of Government, announced the resumption of schools, exclusively for examination classes, various actors in the sector have mobilized their staff to ensure a smooth take-off within the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The different school administrations have not only divided the classrooms, but have also established new teaching timetables to fit the situation at hand.
As early as 8:00 am, on May 18, the administration of the Mevick Bilingual Grammar School Etoug-Ebe Yaounde could be seen within the school premises working meticulously at the offices of the Vice Principal, Divine Ayuk.
Speaking to Cameroon Tribune (CT), Divine Ayuk said they are trying to divide the classrooms according to the required numbers and sitting positions as required by the government. He said it was an important aspect to carry out, given that the Form Five and Upper Sixth classes have more than 50 students each.
According to Divine Ayuk, Form Five Arts has 77 students, Form Five Science, 85 students, and Form Five Commercial less than 50 students. The Vice Principal underscored that they do not have a problem with space because the school has more than 19 classrooms. Besides such pedagogic measures to ensure smooth functioning in different schools, Mevick authorities as well as school authorities at the Anglo-Saxon General and Technical Group of Schools have also taken measures to reinforce hygiene conditions within the school premises by putting hand-washing buckets with soap at the entrance into the school compound, but also into different teaching halls. The wearing of face masks will be obligatory to all students.
Another school administrator, Ateh Carine Yennnyuy, says within the evening sections of the Faith Comprehensive College in Yaounde, they have also taken measures to effectively apply the ministerial text with regards to school resumption. At Faith Comprehensive Evening School, Ateh Carine says they have put in place equipment like hand sanitizers, buckets, soaps, to enable learners practise proper hygiene, besides dividing the classrooms into 25 sitting positions. “In addition, students should prepare their snack boxes if need be and water bottles because hustlers will not be allowed around the school premises,” Ateh Carine underlined.
