Poor awareness among managements a cause for concern Updated: Updated: ‘Students should not be forced to join cleaning activities at schools’ Share Article ‘Students should not be forced to join cleaning activities at schools’ The lack of awareness among school managements on the safety protocol to be followed ahead of the partial reopening is likely to put the authorities in a fix. The Education Department has made it clear that students should not be made part of the cleaning activity on campuses. A directive in this regard was issued following reports that students had joined teachers and other staffers in cleaning up school premises and giving a fresh coat of paint to classroom walls. The Health Ministry guidelines clearly state that students should not be involved in any cleaning activity for health and safety reasons.

So far, 1,87,000 babies have been screened in the district and congenital hearing loss was confirmed in 382 babies. The method of screening is a non-invasive one using an otoacoustic emission machine.
