The report says no evidence that reopening schools has caused a surge in Covid cases and that schools are not a “safe place”

New Delhi: There is no justification now for keeping schools closed in view of the Covid-19 pandemic and even if there are new waves, closing schools should be the last resort, according to World Bank’s Global Education Director Jaime Saavedra.

Saavedra, whose team has been tracking the impact of Covid-19 on the education sector, says there is no evidence that reopening schools has caused a surge in Covid cases and that schools are not a “safe place”.

He also asserted that it did not make sense from public-policy perspective to wait till children were vaccinated as there was “no science” behind it.

“There is no relation between opening schools and spread of Covid. There is no evidence linking the two and there is no justification now to keep the schools closed,” Saavedra said in an interview from Washington.

“It does not make sense to keep restaurants, bars and shopping malls open and keep schools closed. There is no excuse,” he added.
