There should have been a reintegration process for students returning to school, as their absence from physical classrooms would have an effect on their mental and socio-emotional health.
This is the belief of Clinical Psychologist Dr. Katija Khan who said the challenges children experienced before their leave from school were exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
As it relates to an incident at a Secondary School in which female students were recorded giving male students a lap dance, Dr. Khan said support needs to be given to all parties involved.
Dr. Khan said additional support should include counselling from an external expert.
