The Minister of Education of the City of Buenos Aires, Soledad Acuña, announced that this district will announce this Friday the return to schools, starting next Monday, of students of
all grades of primary and of all years of secondary
.
The return will reach, according to Acuña told radio Miter, both the state management schools and those of private management.
It will be partial, that is,
for a few hours on some days of the week
, not mandatory for students and following epidemiological protocols.
Each school will adjust its schedule according to its particularities and how they have been working so far, the Buenos Aires official added.
In this way, the return to schools in the capital's primary and secondary schools would be extended, already enabled for students in the last years of each level of compulsory education (preschool, primary and secondary).
"We understand that the epidemiological conditions in the City are not yet suitable for the return to classes as we know it, with all the children all the time in the classroom, but it was important and necessary that they were
recovering spaces of presence
; a return to the school to see their classmates, their teachers, to be able to deepen their learning, to put into words what happened to them, "Acuña said in a video interview with radio Miter.
In addition to the boys from preschool, seventh grade and the last years of high school, Acuña recalled that some of the 6,500 students who had lost ties with their school had also recovered some degree of presence.
"Tomorrow [for this Friday] we would be announcing that all the boys and girls of all grades —that is, from second to sixth grade of primary school and from second to fourth year in secondary school and the youngest of the garden— can return to some spaces of presence before the end of the year, "said Acuña.
And he added: "We intend to be able to do it for all children and all schools, state-run and privately run, with the same parameters that have been used up to now, which is with a bubble, with some days of the week and a few hours. We set a parameter that is
between one and four times a week
, between an hour and a half and four hours, "the minister added.
Regarding the rooms of two, three and four years, although the minister at one point included them among those that would return to some presence, in another part of the interview with radio Miter she said that they were still adjusting details for those levels.
