It would not only be the return of the oldest high school students to the classrooms, as it had already transpired.
The Buenos Aires government also wants to go further and
expand the instances of face-to-face to first and second-year students
, who are now going to school, but with a mixed scheme (bimodality), which combines face-to-face with virtuality.
Ultimately, the idea would be that third-year students onwards - who are now out of school -
leave virtuality
and move on to bimodality;
while first and second year students - who are now in bimodality -
move to full presence

From next week, he will welcome all the students again.

All would win in hours of presence
within the schools.
Although it must be clarified that, due to the protocols, some schools cannot guarantee that full presence for all students at the same time.
This is one of the two options handled by the Buenos Aires Ministry of Education for next week, according to
Clarín
.
They analyzed it this Wednesday, in a meeting with various ministers of the City, among whom was Fernán Quirós.
The Minister of Health had been hopeful at the beginning of the week with an incipient drop in infections, but in recent days this phenomenon stopped, and that is why he
asked to wait a couple of days more
before making a decision.

The other option that the Buenos Aires Ministry of Education analyzes is the one that Minister Soledad Acuña already let know this Tuesday in journalistic statements.
It would be to incorporate the older students into a bimodal scheme, leave the younger ones as they are now, and then
all the secondary students remain with that mixed education scheme
.
There is no idea among Buenos Aires officials to close schools again, as
the national government demands
, on the basis of the "epidemiological traffic light", which indicates that the City is under "health alarm" and must suspend presence in all levels.
As the "Pandemic Law" project was not finally included in the agenda of the session of Deputies this Thursday, it is most likely that the new restrictions will come out again by presidential DNU.
In that case, from the City they will wait for President Fernández to make the announcements this Friday, and then make those of the Buenos Aires district, as he did with the last DNU.
Winter Break
In the Buenos Aires Ministry of Education they are also analyzing, at the moment,
what they are going to do with the next winter holidays
.
As
Clarín
could know
, so far what has more chance is that
there is no change in this regard
.
That is, the winter student recess is in the last two weeks of July, as established in the school calendar.
Another option that was being studied was to gather in the previous week all the remaining teaching days of the year - in which there are no classes - and thus
"stretch" the winter break
, and even add the July 9 holiday.
But this alternative is not gaining weight in the Buenos Aires Ministry of Education, where they say that
"nothing is gained by changing by changing
.
"
The decision is then to see, step by step, together with Minister Quirós, the evolution of the pandemic, in order to make the decisions.
And Province?
In the province of Buenos Aires, meanwhile,
the interruption of classes would continue in 114 districts,
including all those of the Conurbano, which are under "epidemiological alarm."
A source from the national Ministry of Education, however, was optimistic and stated that he believes that
Buenos Aires schools will be able to open soon
.
“When
the incidence rate
(the quotient between the number of cases in the last 14 days and that of the previous 14 days)
drops below 500,
those districts will be able to reopen the schools.
That indicator is going down and close to hitting 500
. We believe that soon they will be able to return to a face-to-face scheme, ”that official source told
Clarín
