In line with the statements of the Minister of Education, Nicolás Trotta, the Buenos Aires teachers questioned this Thursday the idea of the Buenos Aires government to open schools to receive students who did not have access to the internet during the suspension of face-to-face classes due to the coronavirus pandemic .
Who launched the criticism and pointed to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta was the UTE deputy secretary, Eduardo López, who assured that they will not allow "the boys to go to schools."
In dialogue with El Uncover Radio , the CTERA leader explained that "the only positive thing is that Larreta acknowledged that there are 5,100 disconnected boys. For us there are more, but at least he recognizes that."
And he added: "The solution they want is to open the school buildings to turn them into a kind of cyber . Larreta says they want to open the schools and that the unionists do not want to. But Larreta has no idea what it is to open a school."
The idea of the Buenos Aires government is "to open some schools so that all the boys who have had some connectivity problem at home can access a computer and the Internet, " according to Rodríguez Larreta in the last announcement in Quinta de Olivos.
"A school is not a building. Larreta only wants to use them as a cyber to make up for his decision not to give computers to children so that they can study at home," López continued with his criticism.
The first to dismiss the project of the Buenos Aires government was the Minister of National Education, who remarked that "under no point of view is the return to the classroom under discussion."
"There will not be classes yet in the City, the epidemiological conditions are not given. What (Rodríguez Larreta) said, and I agree, is the need for the State to go and look for these boys, but not for them to go to school but for the school to go home, "Trotta said days ago.
According to the survey of the Buenos Aires government, in the City there are 148,500 students in state primary schools and 97,000 in secondary schools. In total there are 245,500, and it is 2% who could not participate in distance education.
