‘’The campaign dubbed as ‘Safer Schools’ will engage government, school administrators and partners in the educational sector to ensure schools across the country are in straight adherence to the National Health Protocols and mostly especially internationally accepted health and safety standards and practices’’. The awareness will focus on promoting safe school environments, she said. “We call on the relevant agencies and Government Ministries to provide strong supervision to various school campuses to ensure health protocols are observed. According to the UNESCO, the global COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented levels of disruption to education, impacting over 90%of the world’s student population: 1.54 billion children, including 743 million girls. And to reverse this, Girls for Change is urging government, education stakeholders, parents, students and the entire country to work together for the return of all kids to school and a special emphasis must be placed on girls children too.
