刚果在埃博拉疫情肆虐的形势下恢复了新学年教学。1截至复课时，该国已累计报告6100例确诊病例和2950人死亡。1伊图里省作为疫情重灾区，其学校复课更成为防控重点，尽管教师工会曾呼吁推迟开学，但政府仍继续推进计划。1
当前疫情由罕见的Bundibugyo病毒引发，成为该病历史上传播最快的一次，已蔓延至60多个卫生区。14岁及以下儿童群体风险最高，病死率达60%。1为应对复课带来的防控挑战，当地学校配备了非接触式红外测温仪、洗手液和洗手盆等防控物资。1然而，许多学校仍面临缺水和资金不足的困难。1复课初期，部分学校出现了低出勤率现象，反映出家长和教师对学校防控能力仍存疑虑。1此外，卫生工作者因薪酬延迟问题曾多次罢工，进一步加剧了防控体系的脆弱性。1
Schools in the Democratic Republic of Congo reopened for the new academic year on Tuesday amid an ongoing Ebola outbreak that has claimed thousands of lives 1. As of that date, the country had recorded 6,100 confirmed cases and 2,950 deaths since mid-May, with Ituri Province serving as the epicenter of the outbreak 1. The current epidemic, caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, represents the fastest-spreading instance of this virus in its history and has spread across more than 60 health zones 1.
Despite the severity of the crisis, educational institutions have begun implementing preventive measures to protect students and staff. Schools have been equipped with non-contact infrared thermometers, hand sanitizers, and handwashing stations 1. However, many facilities continue to face significant obstacles, including water shortages and insufficient funding 1. Parents and teachers have expressed serious reservations about resuming classes, and local teacher unions had previously called for a delay in reopening 1. Among the most vulnerable populations, children aged four and younger face a fatality rate of 60 percent 1.
The decision to proceed with classes comes as health workers have staged multiple strikes over delayed salary payments, further straining the country's capacity to respond to the health emergency 1.
