Africa Educates Her Campaign - Angola. Season 3. Don't Miss Out! Webisode 34

 Our girls back to school campaign is ongoing. Day 34

By April 2020, nearly 1.6 billion students across the world had their education disrupted due to COVID-19. The boys and girls of today are the future of tomorrow, and investing in and giving attention equally to their respective education will help us all come out on top post-pandemic.

Our today's guest is Julia, she will share with us the impact that Covid-19 had her study.

Good morning! My name is Julia Valentim, I am 15 years old, I am a 10th grader studying nursing.

Julia, how did  coronavirus impact your studies?

Well, in the beginning it was a little bit complicated because we stayed in the house for a long time this was causing me a lot of stress because we couldn't be with our family and visit our friends, but thanks to God everything is fine and we went back to school things are going well.

Has the school taken any preventive measures against the coronavirus?

Yes they did. Before entering the school we must wash our hands and disinfect them with hand sanitizer, wipe the feet on a damp carpet, then wipe the feet on the dry carpet again, the door we get in is not the same door we get out (the exits were changed ), we keep a distance between students in the classrooms and after each class we always take 5 minutes to clean our hands.

How is your academic performance? Didn't you forget anything you learned before the pandemic?

Well, before the pandemic we did not have many classes because we stopped studying in March 2020, I was not prepared. Of course I forgot the things I learned before the pandemic but we are remembering it. In October, when we returned to school, we started the first quarter again, this has helped us to revive what we have learned before.

 How do you feel? Are you afraid of the coronavirus?

I am afraid because it is a dangerous disease, a virus that nobody can see and I heard rumors that appeared another virus  worse than this one. I fear a lot for people with risk diseases like diabetics, people who suffer from hypertension and chronic diseases these are the most affected.

In that time you stayed at home, what did you do to continue learning?

I had online classes.

Opening schools for in-person learning as safely and quickly as possible, and keeping them open, is important given the many known and established benefits of in-person learning. In order to enable in-person learning and assist schools with their day-to-day operations, it is important to adopt and diligently implement actions to slow the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 inside the school and out in the community:

Promoting behaviors that reduce COVID-19’s spread

Maintaining healthy environments

Maintaining healthy operations

Preparing for when someone gets sick
