COVID-19 کے دوران حاضری میں تفاوت

یہ پالیسی بریف وبائی امراض کے دوران اسکول کی حاضری میں تفاوت کو نمایاں کرتی ہے اور شہر سے مطالبہ کرتی ہے کہ وہ تعلیمی بحالی کے ایک پرجوش منصوبے میں سرمایہ کاری کرے جو اس بات کو یقینی بناتا ہے کہ تمام طلبا کو وہ تعلیمی اور سماجی جذباتی مدد حاصل ہو جس کی انہیں ضرورت ہے جب وہ اسکول واپس آئیں۔

AFC کا COVID-19 تعلیمی بحالی کا منصوبہ

With the federal government having approved the largest one-time investment in education in our nation’s history, NYC needs an ambitious education initiative to pave the way to hope and opportunity for this generation of students. Such a plan must invest resources in academic support, mental health support, and outreach and engagement. It must be targeted to assist students disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, including the provision of specialized instruction and support where needed. This plan outlines our recommendations for steps the City should take.

COVID-19 کے دوران عمر رسیدہ طلباء کے لیے گریجویشن کے مواقع کی حفاظت کریں۔

اس جون 2020 کی پالیسی بریف سے پتہ چلتا ہے کہ نیو یارک اسٹیٹ میں تقریباً 3,700 طلباء ہیں جو اس سال اسکول سے باہر ہو جائیں گے اور ڈپلومہ حاصل کرنے کا موقع کھو دیں گے۔ وہ غیر متناسب طور پر رنگین طلباء، معذور طلباء اور انگریزی زبان سیکھنے والے ہیں۔ مختصر میں ریاستی محکمہ تعلیم سے مطالبہ کیا گیا ہے کہ وہ اضلاع کو ہدایت جاری کرنے کے لیے ہدایت جاری کریں کہ وہ تمام طلبا جو ڈپلومہ کے بغیر اسکول سے باہر ہو چکے ہیں انہیں اگلے سال ہائی اسکول میں واپس جانے کی اجازت دیں۔
