    "content": "Prior to reopening of the schools, the governments are expected to come up with critical policies, procedures and financing plans needed to improve schooling with a focus on safe operations, including strengthening remote learning practices. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the governments are expected to develop clear and easy-to- understand and detailed protocols on physical distancing and hygiene measures, and policies to protect teaching and non-teaching staff and learners in addition to identifying response and recovery financing for immediate investments in school water, sanitation and hygiene. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as part of reopening process, governments are expected to adopt proactive approaches to reintegrate marginalized and out of-school children and focus on remedial education to compensate for lost instructional time. They should also provide clear guidance to establish procedures to be followed if learners or staff members become unwell and equip teachers with skills and knowledge to deal with students’ mental health and psychosocial needs, address stigmatization and discrimination, and support learners and their families in coping with the continued uncertainties of the pandemic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are greatly convinced that a return to face-to-face instruction would enhance life chances of our children and reverse any devastating impacts of the recent months."
