The call for public bids for the purchase of 10,000 wooden penises by the Ministry of Health for sex education classes continues to attract criticism and support.

Soledad Acuña, Buenos Aires Minister of Education, 

defended the tender

and stressed that the City also acquired them. 

"We in the City

also bought

at one point

and it is one of the thousands of tools that are used to work in schools on this issue," explained the Buenos Aires official in a talk with

Radio La Red

.

After the official announcements of the Buenosairean government by the total return of the presence in the schools after the vacations, Acuña had a media raid this Tuesday.

It was in a radio talk that he expressed his annoyance with the treatment of the controversial tender.

"There has been

a very superficial discussion

of a very important issue such as comprehensive sexuality education. There are other more interesting elements that are also being used and discussing this before such an important issue does not lead us anywhere," he said.

The tender for the purchase of wooden penises generated controversy: criticism and support everywhere.

The 13 million pesos that will be invested in the acquisition of wooden penises, condom dispensers and briefcases triggered some questions, mainly on social networks.

In this sense, and through a message on Twitter, the Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, assured that the debate that was generated "only makes visible and confirms the need for Comprehensive Sexual Education (ESI)".

Along the same lines, the Minister of Health of the Province, Daniel Gollan, emphasized that the pandemic is not a factor to stop the rest of the health and prevention actions.


Total presence in the classrooms

Acuña also referred to the announcements made on Monday by Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and confirmed that on August 17, the government 's

claim is that both primary and secondary schools

resume full presencialidad

.

"The return will have with it the protocols that we have been having: use of the chinstrap and social distance. Also with the ventilation in the classrooms and the temperature taking in the admissions. And if there is a suspicious case, the attendance of the degree will be suspended," he explained Acuña.

Regarding the return of the presence to the universities, Acuña ratified what was said by Larreta.

"We are working with the public and also with the private ones and the City will give them the necessary endorsement they need to present the necessary protocol that they must present in the Nation, which is the one that is ultimately authorized," he confirmed.

And he added: "The dates of return will depend on each university with the presentation of the protocols, but from the 17th we are in a position to gradually recover their presence."
