The Minister of Education of the Nation, Nicolás Trotta, announced this Monday that the current school year for students in the last year of secondary school
may be extended until April 2021, with the aim that they have "a closure
.
"
"It is an idea that we have raised. In the Federal Council we approved a general reorganization process with a view of pedagogical unity in 2020 and 2021. In other words, what has not been able to be addressed this year will be done next year. But for
those who are finishing secondary school, we have allowed the school year to be extended until April 30,
"explained Trotta.
In dialogue with

, the official stated that the idea is to advance with "a face-to-face proposal that allows the closure of compulsory education, articulating with the university level or higher so that all students who wish to go to higher education next year can do so. do".
"There are proposals from different universities so that the closure of the secondary cycle
can be carried out even at the university itself
, articulating with each jurisdiction," he added.
On the other hand, when asked about the negotiation with the Buenos Aires government so that some students can return to face-to-face classes in open spaces, the minister pointed out that "for several weeks they have been trying to draw a common path."
"Last week we proposed prioritizing the response to boys and girls who are not linked to school and construct an indicator that allows us to project a safe return in the epidemiological field. These indicators, among other aspects, link the
number of cases in the last 14 days and the level of test positivity
, in addition to the response capacity of the health system. Let's hope tomorrow (Tuesday) we will have those indicators to be able to establish whether or not the return is safe, "he added.
In any case, he warned, the Buenos Aires government "has a very optimistic outlook" and that "no country in the world has proposed to return to classes in public spaces."
The City proposes that the return be phased
beginning October 5 in 25 elementary schools and 25 high schools,
with shifts in which there are never more than 10 people in each school.
They clarified that it is not a "return to classes", but a face-to-face instance, of school support, for the 6,500 students who lost all ties with their schools.
