Teachers Against E-Leaning & Re-Opening Of Schools
Teachers through their various unions are against the government imposing e-learning and reopening schools when the COVID-19 threat is still not contained, The Standard reports. Teachers reportedly said e-learning will disadvantage majority of the leaners who cant access e-learning facilities.
This was revealed in a joint statement released by the teachers union in which the educators urged the government to first open bars and churches to test the contagious effect of gatherings of 50+ people before opening schools.
PTUZ’s statement on the reopening of schools said:
We will challenge the decision to impose online learning on all pupils as this will clearly disadvantage 70-80% of primary and secondary school children. They have no gadgets, no power, no data. We can’t celebrate modernity when we have not invested in it.

Government’s hurried schools opening programme is inspired by pursuit of elite interests. They don’t care much about our public schools; they are supporting business as usual.
Our public schools have no capacity to open under the obtaining environment. The poor will be left behind.
The government has proposed a 5 phased schools reopening schedule they are yet to implement.
