"SINGAPORE: More schools are following the Education Ministry's health guidelines in light of the current H1N1 situation in Singapore.

Schools like Mercu Learning Point have taken steps to clean up their premises and will set up temperature-taking stations when school reopens next Monday.

They said they will also minimise group outings, monitor hygiene levels and prevent large numbers of people from congregating.

......

Meanwhile, Republic Polytechnic will implement one week of home-based e-learning for all its Year One students starting Thursday. It is estimated that some 4,500 students will be affected. Republic Polytechnic have nine confirmed H1N1 cases.

Nanyang Polytechnic will kick off its one-week home-based e-learning next Monday when the new school term begins. Common tests planned for this period have also been rescheduled. Lecturers will be contactable via email and phone.

Nanyang Poly said this will apply to all 15,000 students, except those doing their Final-Year Project and Teaching Enterprise Project and those who are on Industrial Attachment, clinical practice and taking Continuing Education and Training courses.

It said this is a precautionary measure and not a direct response to confirmed H1N1 cases on campus.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic and Temasek Polytechnic said they have no plans to implement e-learning for now.

......"

Well, there goes all hope.
Or at least most of it.
Not fair.
NanYang and Republic are having an extra 1 week of holidays.
Sadly, most of the people i know are in the 3 polys that refuse to close.
NgeeAnn should seriously consider.
Like, seriously.
We wouldn't want any cases now, would we.
