Students Should Be Allowed To Use Phones When School Reopens

On last Sunday evening, the President of the Nation, Akufo-Addo eased some of the Covid-19 restrictions which allow schools to be opened for only final year students. This is to make sure that, the final year students complete their final exams.

Also, yesterday the Education Minister said the final year SHS students will be in school for 11 weeks. With this, no parent will be allowed to visit their wards during this period.

Mr. Alexander Danso, the president of the PTA Council, has said, “Barring their parents from visiting them is quite unfortunate but I understand them because if you allow parents to be going at this time of the Covid-19 outbreak (it won’t be the best)”

He again added that, “If they are not allowing parents to visit, at least they should allow the students to carry feature phones only for calls and SMS so that they will be able to interact with their parents because staying in one place without seeing your child for 11 weeks will be a problem.”
