MBC Broadcasting team member and Translator Abel Charles handles the Cree translations of the following Questions around Sept 2020 return to schools amid COVID-19. Aim: to educate parents and families on measures taken by Tri-Community Schools.
Abel is not giving his own opinion here, he is translating for our in-studio guests:
- Jason Young, Director of Education - NLSD
- Simon Bird, Director of Education - LLRIB
- Gerry Guillet, Director of Education for the Athabasca Denesuline Education Authority
Questions:
1. 6 or 7 months later, still don’t have a vaccine for the virus. Q: why are we opening Schools? How are we going to manage Back to School? Reduced class sizes? Only coming half the time?’
2. What PPE will be supplied to students and staff? What will be some of the safety measures (cleaning, spaces), and how do you get children to obey rules, wear masks?
