Covid challenge for schools for special kids Organisations cite difficulty in maintaining distance even if they dealt with small groups of eight to 10
The challenge for schools and organisations for children with special needs is maintaining the Covid-19 safety protocols like distancing, wearing masks and following the basic hygiene, the heads of several schools said.
At least two organisations said that since many of the individuals belonged to a “high support” group, it was difficult to maintain distance even if they dealt with small groups of eight to 10.
For children with special needs, there is a greater tendency to touch or have body contact or at times even put things in the mouth.
How a school is being built during the pandemic with the library as its fulcrum
A veterinary surgeon, an educator, and an entrepreneur have come together to set up the first English-medium school in Enayetpur, West Bengal. Books sent from across the country for the library at Noor Jahan Memorial School.
In 2020, Vikram D’Souza – an entrepreneur involved in digital publishing, who develops virtual and physical museums – got an opportunity to help develop a library for the first-ever English-medium school in the village of Enayetpur in West Bengal’s Malda district.
It began a year earlier, in 2019, when MM Rahman – a trained veterinary surgeon who now works in New Delhi for the government – and his brother decided to establish an English-medium school in Enayetpur, his hometown, in memory of their mother who died in 2016 after a prolonged battle with cancer.
