Directions for reopening of institutions offering qualifications registered on the Occupational Qualifications Sub-Framework (OQSF) as part of a risk-adjusted strategy for a phased-in return of skills development activities

6. Return to the institution for contact classes

 

6.1 Daily screening of all staff and learners entering the site of learning must be put in place.

 

6.2 Hand sanitisers must be available at the entrance of every facility in use. Ongoing cleaning and sanitising of all surfaces must be undertaken at regular intervals in line with the applicable regulations.

 

6.3 High-risk areas, for example the workshops and equipment in use, must be identified and regularly sanitized.

 

6.4 Each institution must utilise the national criteria and develop their own phase-in plan for each alert level of the risk-adjusted strategy.

 

6.5 Control over the return to the Institution will be through the issuing of permits at institutional level as per the Disaster Management Regulations. Institutions should put measures in place to prevent fraudulent permits being issued. Each institution will communicate directly with its own learners and staff to inform them of the phase-in plan.

 

6.6 Each institution must implement its teaching and learning plan to ensure that physical distancing and other health protocols are observed at all times. This implies the implementation of blended learning methodologies and contact teaching, where necessary, must adhere to physical distancing.
