“With the COVID-19 pandemic now well into its second year, safely reopening schools has become an urgent priority. School attendance is critical for children’s education and lifetime prospects,” said WHO Director for the Western Pacific Takeshi Kasai and UNICEF Regional Director for East Asia and the Pacific Karin Hulshof in a statement.
The officials pointed out that countries should now focus on using what is known about COVID-19 to work towards the safe reopening of schools.
Kasai and Hulshof cited that there were already pieces of evidence that show COVID-19 does not pose a high risk to children in primary schools, preschools, and early childhood development (ECD) centers, and that face-to-face schooling is not a driver of infection spikes as long as safety measures are strictly observed.
