Aganist Republic Polytechnic's (RP) measure in handling H1N1

To:  Republic Polytechnic

Dear year 2 and 3 students of Republic Polytechnic (RP):

Our school has announced the temporary stoppage of classes for Year 1 students in our school. As stated from the official e-mail sent to us, the reason was because they felt that the Year 1 students have a higher possibility of being in contact with the students caught with H1N1.

This reason is only true to a certain extent as everyone from RP should know how open our campus is. Any students could have access to every area of the school as long as the doors are unlocked. The infected students could have been to anywhere in the school before they were found to be infected.

Being human beings just like every year 1 student, we should not be going to classes just because we have lesser chance of being in contact with the year 1 infected students, as we share an equal high level of risk similar to the year 1 students because the virus could be anywhere in our campus.

This is also not only about the case of our school having infected students, but also to prevent our uninfected students from getting H1N1 from external sources as well. NYP is the first poly to announce the suspension of classes to minimize the risk of their students getting H1N1. RP should be doing this as well because of the cases from our institution.

Therefore, the purpose of this petition aims at trying to get RP to suspend classes for the year 2 and 3 students till at least the 1st of July.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
