The Minister of Education, Nicolás Trotta, confirmed this Saturday that three provinces will enable face-to-face classes as of February 17, as will be done in the City of Buenos Aires.
"As of February 17 there are several jurisdictions that are going to begin to display a careful presence and our commitment must be to intensify presence, with the improvement of epidemiological indicators," said the official.
In statements to Concept radio, Trotta specified that, in addition to the City, the first jurisdictions to reactivate face-to-face classes will be
Jujuy, Santiago del Estero and Santa Fe
.
"Jujuy begins with elementary schools on February 17. Santiago del Estero and Santa Fe, with students with the lowest level of connection in recent years. Santiago del Estero and Santa Fe with all seventh and fifth grade students, to that may have a closure. There are different initiatives in different jurisdictions, in addition to the City, "he explained.
Following this, Trotta indicated that "most of the jurisdictions begin on March 1" and reviewed: "Fourteen jurisdictions begin on March 1, Formosa on March 2, Río Negro and Neuquén on March 3 and so on so that
all comply the 180 days of classes
and have the deployment of careful presence ".
"We made the decision that teachers and non-teachers be priority groups for vaccination, a process that we hope to start at the end of February and the beginning of March with the arrival of the doses. We have also established an order of
how we are going to vaccinate 1,450,000 people
to improve the presence instances from there, "he reiterated.
However, he insisted on pointing out that "the vaccine
is not an indispensable condition
for safe presence."
"The indispensable condition is the protocols that are applied throughout the territory," he recalled.
Trotta announced that next Monday he will meet with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, as long as the test that the minister must take this weekend is negative, since he is isolated because he was close contact with an official who tested positive.
