Higher Education, Science and Innovation Deputy Minister Buti Manamela, in support of the Higher Health and European Union programme, is to unveil the COVID-19 ZA Warriors Campaign.<\/p>\n
As the third COVID-19 wave looms, Manamela emphasised a need to reinforce messaging and prevention measures to stop the spread of COVID-19, and to advocate for vaccination within campuses and communities.<\/p>\n
This is through student volunteers who will now be known as COVID-19 ZA warriors.<\/p>\n
Manamela said that Higher Health\u2019s second curriculum peer-to-peer education programme is one of the big strengths within the department.<\/p>\n
He said that it is a model that has been replicated for COVID-19 with the development of screening stations, where a specific protocol was developed in 2020, on establishing a student volunteer programme for the management of COVID-19 within the post school education and training sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this student volunteer protocol, Higher Health managed to train over 14 000 student volunteers between April 2020 and March 2021,\u201d Manamela said ahead of the launch.<\/p>\n
The campaign will be unveiled at the Tshwane South College, Centurion campus, in Pretoria on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis campaign will be rolled out through a partnership with the European Union. The launch of the COVID-19 Warrior ZA Campaign will also signify the recent funding partnership between Higher Health and the European Union,\u201d the Deputy Minister said on Thursday. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Higher Education, Science and Innovation Deputy Minister Buti Manamela, in support of the Higher Health and European Union programme, is to unveil the COVID-19 ZA Warriors Campaign.
