Childcare for schoolchildren There are also shortages of staff and long-term support staff are also available Chiba Ichihara February 29 22:06
In response to Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, having decided to temporarily close school from March 2, groups that are in charge of childcare at elementary schools have decided to reshuffle their shifts and respond accordingly. The number of support staff who are expected to work for hours is increasing, and the situation is severe.
Ichihara City decided to temporarily close schools from March 2 until spring break at 63 elementary and junior high schools in the city, and decided to conduct school childcare, which was used after school on weekdays, from 7 am.
In response, the group entrusted with childcare at Myojin Elementary School, which has 53 registered children, decided to reshuffle the shift of seven supporters on the 28th to respond.
However, in the current situation, some support staff will be forced to work more than 10 hours per day, and in some cases, there are concerns about whether or not they will be able to survive on the long street that lasts until the end of spring break.
It is also necessary to thoroughly check the child's health status and indoor disinfection.
I have been asking college students during the spring break to enter the shift, but it seems that securing new workers is likely to be difficult due to concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
Hiromi Akimoto, chief supporter, says, "I think parents are worried about sudden temporary school closures. I want to get over them while putting the safety of children first."
