Only every tenth parent has no concerns about resuming classroom lessons

Half of parents are concerned that their child will catch coronavirus at school. One in three believe that schools are not sufficiently prepared to re-admit students and that the sanitary regime will not be respected, according to a study commissioned by Nationale-Nederlanden. This may result in a return to remote lessons. At the same time, parents emphasize that they care for the health safety of children – they make sure that they wear masks, teach them about hygiene, strengthen their immunity and take care of vaccinations. Only every tenth parent has opted for additional accident insurance for a child.

“The pandemic has forced parents to face fears that have never happened before. According to a study commissioned by the Nationale-Nederlanden, one third of parents believe that schools are not sufficiently prepared to receive students. In addition, 30 percent of parents are concerned that lessons will have to take place at home again as a result of the spread of the coronavirus,” Iwona Debis, product manager at Nationale-Nederlanden, said.

From March 12, schools were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, and learning was only carried out remotely. From September, classes are to be conducted at the school again. Three fourths of respondents believe that traditional teaching is better than remote teaching. Although, according to every second parent, the return of their children to school will allow them to perform their professional duties better and to be less involved in school tasks, there are many concerns about it. First, they relate to health issues.
