While the definition of National Education on the return of face-to-face classes continues to be postponed, the Buenos Aires Ministry of Education set up a meeting space on Wednesday at the Parque Patricios sports center in which
about one hundred students
participated
.
As explained from the Buenos Aires portfolio, they will continue adding different centers in the neighborhoods to try to reconnect with the school those 6,500 students with difficulties that they have identified.
The boys and girls, all residents of the area, arrived around 9 in the morning at the complex located in front of the Buenos Aires government headquarters.
There they were received by promoters of the
"Decí Presente" program
, with which Educación de Ciudad was surveying and searching their homes for students who had lost ties with the school.
According to spokesmen assured
Clarín
, "there were no teachers or educational content."
It was
"a social activity"
in which it was sought "to listen to the children, do everything possible to reconnect them, organize them in the study so that they can socialize." No content was dictated, they insisted, but "the purpose is that they
return to feel interest in school
and have routines again. ”In the case of students who manifested connectivity problems to join virtual classes, they
were offered computers on loan
from the Sarmiento plan.
About 100 students from different grades and colleges participated, although many were fifth and first years of middle school.
They were divided into groups of between 10 and 15 boys, with social distancing, who had about an hour and a half of activity.
The idea is that they return tomorrow and the following days so that a habit of participation is generated in this
“re-linking space”
, as the ministry described it, until the face-to-face classes in the patios can return, such as the last request of the City a Nation that still had no response.
When asked by this newspaper whether to undertake this activity in the midst of the
long negotiations
in the Federal Council of Education could not be read as a direct response to the ministry led by Nicolás Trotta, they pointed out that “nothing we are doing is not authorized by the decree ”, in reference to the national provisions on the suspension of face-to-face classes.
"To open schools and give classes with teachers we need to ask the permission of the Nation, but this is a social activity," they remarked.
And they added that the Province of Buenos Aires also proposed to begin to regain presence.
“It is clear that the best thing would be to be able to give them support classes in the schools, with the teachers.
We presented the protocol to enable the patios, but we are still waiting for the response.
In our tours, we asked the students what they would do if there was an instance where they could begin to re-link and their response was positive, that is why we started these spaces,
to contain them in some way
", they affirmed.
From Education they did not inform what would be the total number of students who will be able to participate in this instance of the "Decí Presente", but they anticipated that they will be enabling
more public sports centers in different neighborhoods
to convene students from the area there.
