“My son is anxious because on Monday he
goes to school after a year
without stepping on it.
He still does not know that a teaching union (AGD) decided to use class time for assemblies.
For now, the national and city governments, advised by infectious disease specialists, support a semi-face-to-face education.
But AGD of @cnba remains as an enclave of sanitary wisdom and begins classes with UNEMPLOYMENT because the sanitary conditions are not given ", was the discharge of one of the mothers, the journalist
Josefina Licitra
, in front of the statement she received from the union AGD of the National College of Buenos Aires.
Given the worsening of the epidemiological situation in CABA and the Province of Buenos Aires, and other reasons related to health, the union decided not to attend face-to-face activities at the
National College of Buenos Aires
in the week of April 5 to 9 and start the one taken in 2021 next Monday, remotely, through the College campus.

The measure of force aroused the concern of the academic community and a series of tweets, signed by Licitra, which were replicated and displayed a cataract of responses
from other families
, alerted to the unknown tomorrow.
They explored the possibility of organizing themselves in a common space to demand the presence of the classes.
In one hour, 100 parents joined a WhatsApp group self-managed by the journalist "with the purpose of establishing the same strategy."
The AGD union itself exposed them in a thread of tweets some of the reasons that led them to resolve the suspension of face-to-face classes from April 5 to 9, in addition to adhering to the
national strike called by Conadu Histórica on Tuesday 6 and Wednesday 7
of the same week.
“Teachers are in deep union fights that involve crossfire.
The point is that, by Assembly, AGD decided that the epidemiological conditions are not given to teach face-to-face classes in a mixed system.
We do not know if there will be teachers to teach them tomorrow.
Hopefully they will put their students first, who are minors and have the right to education, ”Licitra claims.
The same, Juan Villegas:
"It seems inconsiderate and very irrelevant to do a strike at this time,
after 15 months without face-to-face classes."

Gabriela Cerruti herself tweeted:
“It's a delusion.
They still can't start.
The damage is enormous ”.
The anger of another mother, Carolina Esses, broke into the network with force: “This year every day that boys and girls go to school is of enormous value, we can close at any time.
We cannot allow them not to go, it is like denying them a plate of food ”.
Also, that of Paula Campagno: “We have to do something.
Until when will the education of our children depend on the will of the unions?
Enough!".
What do the UBA authorities say?
The authorities point out that it is a discretionary decision of a minority union and that there is nothing to discuss because the classes already started on the 22nd and on the 29th there was a re-linking process so that tomorrow education in the classrooms is guaranteed, without further ado problems.
“CETERA is committed to the return.
The teachers of the AGD union have the political position of not coming for a long time until all teachers have been vaccinated (with both doses).
But, everything is planned so that there are classes.
To the professor who does not fulfill his task (except for a regulated dispensation), the day will be deducted ”, confirmed to Clarín Oscar García, secretary of secondary education of the University of Buenos Aires.
