A new report on teachers' preparedness has revealed their top fears as schools opened today.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) report lists the anticipated new fourth wave of Covid-19 as their greatest challenge.
According to the report, teachers may not be well prepared to tackle the challenges, citing inadequate funds, limited water and fear of the unknown.
The teachers also cited syllabus coverage as their second top fear.
The report says the congested school calendar may lead to hurried coverage of the syllabus in schools, and according to the teachers, this may affect quality teaching and learning.
