The Teachers and Staff at Al Muntazir Girls Primary welcome their Students after the long unprecedented break.

The Students arrived at School and were received by the team of Teachers who took all the health care measures which included wearing of mask, washing hands and taking temperature check. All the Teachers monitored social distancing while performing various activities in School.

The class sessions started off by the Baseline Counsellors sharing the positive thoughts and advice to the Students in all the classes. The Morning Assembly was conducted Grade wise where the Students were encouraged to follow the health precautions such as wearing mask, washing hands frequently, maintain social distancing and appropriate use of sanitizer.

The Al Muntazir Girls Primary was also visited by the officials from the Ministry of Health along with the ward officer Mrs. Immaculata Ngure. They observed the Students from the arrival at school till they went to classes. The officers were very impressed with all the precautions taken by the school as per the healthy safety policy.

The day ended well, the Teachers guided the Students down to wait for their Parents, Drivers or Bus Transporters to pick them up. Keeping in mind social distancing all the time.

COVID TRAINING TO STAFF

To ensure that all the staff are well aware and knowledgeable about the health and safety precautions to take, before the Students come back there was a workshop organized by the Health Team of Al Muntazir Schools.

At Girls Primary School we had Dr Aamir Kanji who is also the Alumni of Al Muntazir Schools. Dr. Aamir connected very well with the Teachers and Staff of Al Muntazir Girls Primary, AMSEN and the KSIJ Swimming Pool. He shared very practical health related advice on welcoming the Students back to School after the pandemic. He stressed on explaining the existing facts about the covid virus and the situation in Tanzania is under control and we as a nation do not need to worry.

He emphasized that the Teachers should not panic and treat Students with empathy and kindness even if the Students are not well. They should seek the School Nurse, inform the School Administration and Counsel the Students.

He also demonstrated the correct way to wash hands and to do the Temperature check of Staff and Students. He then had 4 Teachers practise it on other staff. At the end of the session the Teachers had an opportunity to ask question and they were answered very clearly by Dr.Aamir Kanji.

At the end of the training all Teachers felt confident about welcoming the Students back to School and gave a warm send off to him.
