Abstract

As residential schools start reopening, the safety of children must be balanced with their learning needs. This document outlines the steps state governments, departments and schools must take to ensure this. This document should preferably be read with the document ‘Schools in the Times of COVID-19. What Matters Most and What We Should Do’, which has recommendations related to school processes,curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, teacher support and mitigating the impact of COVID-19. It must be noted that residential schools are extremely demanding even in usual circumstances,with young children separated from their parents often suffering from homesickness, falling ill often, undergoing stress and anxiety due to their physical and emotional development, and soon. Under the current circumstances, ensuring not only the physical but also emotional health of children will place a very high demand on the principal, teachers, wardens and other staff of the residential school. Therefore, the adult members of the school must be duly oriented and prepared.
