Digitization is the key to a safe return to school-eSemanal

Press now to serve:

Planning a safe return to school in a health crisis is a complex process, ranging from measuring students’ readiness and determining necessary facilities, to meeting government health requirements and communicating agreements with parents. These factors often involve the participation of IT services. .

For Mexico, the situation is becoming more and more urgent, especially considering that during the short transition to the green light of the epidemic alone, more than 27,000 schools in the country have resumed face-to-face courses with more than 600,000 participants in 14 federal entities. Although this figure accounts for less than 2% of the national academic population, the challenge of safeguarding the health and well-being of students, teachers, and administrators should be a priority.

At the national level, the Mexican government issued a series of recommendations to reduce the risk of school infections, aiming to develop a safe reopening strategy for everyone, including planning and collaboration between parents and faculty and staff to manage cleaning days and disinfection, and The shared responsibility filter that allows for the identification and care of symptoms, the implementation of technology can have a positive impact in the face of the reactivation of the educational space in the future.

One example is the Toronto School of Education (TDSB), Canada’s largest school district, which has 583 schools and 245,000 day students, uses digital solutions to ensure safe return to school, and seeks to build community trust in the district’s health and safety procedures.

After implementing the ServiceNow feature in 2017, TDSB turned to the Safe Workplace Suite to manage the transition, using the preparation survey module to collect real-time data on students’ readiness to return to school.

In addition, by cooperating with the Toronto Department of Public Health, TDSB was able to optimize the Health Screening application to meet the established health guidelines in the region, while helping to simplify the process of daily physical examinations for students and their families.

Considering that there will be more academic influx in the 2021-2022 school year, the Mexican education department can use this type of testimony to build smarter return to school for the country’s more than 32.9 million students, who constitute the nation’s 3-29 year old population It accounts for 60.9% of the total population.

Leveraging the power of digital workflows can improve the educational experience, whether it is a hybrid, remote or face-to-face program, and promote safe return to school.
