On March 1, the school year begins in the province of Buenos Aires, "with absolute presence in as many schools as possible."
This summarizes the expectation of the Buenos Aires government, the objective being conditioned by the evolution of coronavirus infections, the building's own characteristics or benefits of the educational system, and even the vaccination rate of the 350,000 teachers.
With this perspective, in the 135 districts of Buenos Aires, there will be attendance from Monday to Friday in those schools with
reduced enrollment
.
For example, in rural schools with pluriaño.
Since October 2020 there are experiences of this type in 26 municipalities of the Interior.
It is the aspirational foundation of the Axel Kicillof administration.
From there, the staggering.
Where there are feasibility, a full week will be applied.
In those schools loaded with enrollment, classes will be organized through
dual or hybrid schemes that combine face-to-face and non-face-to-face activities
.
For example, a section with 30 students can be subdivided so that each group of 15 students attends school twice a week and does non-contact activities the rest of the days.
The fifth day would be devoted to monitoring non-contact activities.
The protocols include
time adjustment in the entry or exit
of contingents to avoid congestion between shifts.
The study of this rotating scheme was also confirmed by the Chief of Staff, Carlos Bianco, who explained that the presence will not be with the same number of students as before the pandemic because the classrooms "are not prepared to ensure the distance of two meters ".
The sanitary provisions are simple, transferable to the usual activities in each community.
But they are application specific.
Among the
general care guidelines
are the mandatory use of a mask, the social distance between students and teachers (at least between 1.5 meters and 2 meters in the classroom).
And of 2 meters in common spaces, frequent hand hygiene (every 90 minutes), temperature control at the entrance to the classroom (maximum 37.4 ° C), ventilation of the rooms (every 90 minutes) and the keeping doors and windows open.
According to the explanation of the authorities of the General Directorate of Schools and Culture to
Clarín
, "the models of school and pedagogical organization will be implemented considering mainly the space that each educational establishment has to respect mandatory social distancing".
Hence the convenience of, in each case,
evaluating absolute or partial presence
.
For these adjustments, in addition to the surveys carried out since October 2020, it is expected that on February 17 the
activities to intensify curricular content will
begin
for students whose educational paths were interrupted or presented difficulties during the past year.
They confirmed that classes begin on March 1
, even in the face of the evident drive that still remains with the union representation of teachers.
The main unions such as Suteba or FEB have not yet spoken.
Others with a lesser registration of affiliates, such as Udocba, are opposed at the beginning with the current conditions.
The data that will have to verify the reality is the
vaccination of 1.5 million people per month
that the Deputy Minister of Health, Nicolás Kreplak, advanced.
The first dose of 300,000 Sputnik to Health personnel has not yet been completed.
Before the end of the month another consignment would be received from Korea or India.
And in February, the area in charge of Minister Daniel Gollán will have the urgency to finish the vaccination of doctors, nurses, orderlies, maternity staff, among others.
The plan should immediately be extended to essential activities, including Security, among them.
And the 320,000 teachers.
Also to the plant of auxiliary schools, fundamental in the task of sanitary adaptation in the 20,000 establishments of state and private management.
In these cases,
the Province's Jurisdictional Plan for the Safe Return to Face-to-Face Classes
establishes guidelines to enable social distancing, adequate air circulation, cleaning, and disinfection of the aforementioned establishments and personal hygiene.
This scheme facilitated the return to face-to-face classes that were at
low epidemiological risk
.
Everyone in the interior of Buenos Aires: Adolfo Gonzales Chaves, Alberti, Carlos Tejedor, Daireaux, Florentino Ameghino, Guaminí, Lezama, Monte Hermoso, Puan, Tres Lomas, 25 de Mayo, Brandsen, Coronel Dorrego, General Guido, Hipólito Yrigoyen, Pehuajó, Rivadavia , Trenque Lauquen, Arrecifes, General Viamonte, Pergamino, San Andrés de Giles, San Pedro and Suipacha.
“The protocols of the plan were also used to organize the face-to-face re-engagement activities and the collation events.
Both activities were enabled throughout the territory, "added the officials.
The greatest complexity, as in all aspects related to the social development of the communities, occurs in the Conurbano.
In the tight demographic synthesis of the Province, where 70 percent of the population is summarized, in just 1.5% of the total territory, the viability of absolute presence, since March 1,
is impossible
.
Only some of the 32 municipalities may present a moderate performance.
This conditionality is also transferable to large urban conglomerates such as La Plata, Mar del Plata or Bahía Blanca.
In all the communes "they work against the clock", they warn.
In March the system should be ready, with the new innovations, to hold 5,217,000 students.
Of these, 3,320,000 correspond to the primary and secondary level.
In these 40 days to go, the training and planning meetings of the actors of the education system with municipal authorities, the auxiliary was incorporated.
The sector is important in the implementation of the
disinfection protocols for schools
.
Among the items assigned to school districts, the budget for the purchase of cleaning products had to be increased.
According to the Directorate of Schools, 2,830 works to improve school infrastructure were undertaken.
In 2021 a provincial census began to have more and better information on the works required in the 9,300 state-run school buildings.
