Interview

1. Introduction

Hello! My name is Doroteia Dala, I am 15 years old and I am a 9th grader.

2. How has covid - 19 affected your student life?

As a student the coronavirus affected me in several ways, my teachers stopped giving me knowledge, I was missing going out and I also was missing a lot of people (friends and family).

3. Now that schools have reopened, have you gone back to school?

Yes, I went back to study. 

4. Has your school distributed any biosecurity materials?

No, my school did not distribute any bio-security material.

5. What are the prevention measures against covid - 19 you saw that the government / school created to ensure your safety? 

Nothing. So far, my school didn't create any security measures to prevent students. Unfortunately there is no safe learning environment at school.

6. How do you feel? Are you enjoying going to class?

I'm not happy at all. Preventive measures are not being followed. My school did not create safe conditions to study.

Schools are more than a place for kids to learn.They should be safe places for children to be while their parents are working.

Teachers must work hard to make sure their schools are as safe as possible while open.

Going to school with safeguards in place helps protect students and lowers their chances of getting the virus. These include:

- washing hands and cleaning surfaces often;

- wearing masks or cloth face coverings;

- keeping kids spaced apart;

- staggered schedules;

- grouping the same students and teachers together throughout the school day.
