After the long wait, in many educational institutions in the Province of Buenos Aires, the
return to face-to-face classes
became a reality.
Within the framework of the start of the 2021 school year and under the corresponding health protocols, schools and schools once again received students in bubble classrooms, with reduced times and a lot of control.
But in some establishments, the consequences of the pandemic have already begun to put sticks in the wheels.
This is the case of
the Pedro Poveda Institute
, located in Vicente López, one of the establishments that could not carry out the corresponding return to the classrooms.
The institution in the northern area of Greater Buenos Aires, which among its significant number of students has in its enrollment
the children of the Minister of Education
, Nicolás Trotta, had to postpone the return since
one of its teachers presented symptoms compatible
with the coronavirus.
"Unfortunately we see ourselves in the need to
postpone the start of classes next Monday and Tuesday
since a teacher is currently diagnosed as a
suspected case of COVID-19
, and the teaching group is currently
possible close contact
," announced the authorities of the school to the parents of the students through an email sent this Sunday, February 28 in the afternoon.
The Pedro Poveda Institute did not start classes due to a suspected case of coronavirus.
Indeed, the boys could not return to face-to-face classes at the
primary level
except this Monday and neither will they be able to do so on Tuesday since a
Spanish teacher
, one of the two modalities (the other is English) will
have
to
swab himself
to determine if it is carrier of the virus.
Given this scenario,
Clarín
managed to contact
Minister Trotta
, who clarified that he will not comment on that particular school,
Although he did confirm that his children had not returned to the presence this Monday.
The determination made by the Poveda authorities according to the current protocol to avoid contagion sources of Covid-19 was not well received by some mothers and fathers of students, who
did not hide their discomfort
at the postponement (English, which is dictated in turn late, yes it started).
"There is a teacher considered as a suspicious case, but we do not know by whom or how many symptoms he has. All primary level workers, including managers,
considered themselves possible narrow cases
for having worked together in the previous days even despite complying with the prevention regulations. They isolated themselves and did not start with classes, "said the mother of a student who complained in WhatsApp chats.
"We do not understand
why they did not send him to do the swab the same Sunday
. At the first difficulty, they closed everything. We understand that the rule, the Jurisdictional Plan, does not say that. We sent emails and a note to the school
and they did not answer anything
, just that they did comply with the protocol in the previous work meetings, respecting the use of chinstraps and distancing. But they did not even offer us to teach classes by Zoom or Meets for the boys ".
It is worth noting that in the notification sent by the institute to the families, Mónica Diéguez (general director), Beatriz Pincemin and Claudia Contartese (legal representatives) remarked that "
the way to proceed
according to protocol
will be indicated by the result
" of the swab.
"In the event of
a negative result, we will resume activities normally
. If it is positive, we will apply the corresponding processes," they added in the statement.
Meanwhile,
the teaching group for tomorrow's shift will remain isolated
.
At least, this Monday and Tuesday (Wednesday was scheduled in advance not to open, so it also remains to see what will happen on Thursday and Friday with the odd bubbles).
The educational agenda in Vicente López
Classes began this week about
4 thousand students
in kindergartens, kindergartens and the Dorrego School of Vicente López.
