After a complex year, crossed by the closure of schools and virtual classes in the midst of the pandemic, the Minister of National Education, Nicolás Trotta, confirmed this Monday that the school year will begin with students in classrooms "at least" three times a week,
as Clarín announced.
This is one of the agreements that he reached after talking with the provinces and unions, although he assured that there will be
strict protocols
, with the use of masks, social distancing and staggered income, among other items.
"Our goal is for each of the students to have face-to-face classes at school at least three days a week," he said in dialogue with
Radio Miter
.
In this sense, the minister stressed that
it is not a "re-linking"
with the school but regular classes, as the opposition has been claiming since last year.

"It is important
that the student repeats the usual day, not that he goes two hours
. If he has a single day, that the day he has to go he goes all day. They are not educational reengagement activities, they are classes with an alternate system of presence and not face-to-face, "he explained.
To make the return to the classroom effective and comply with the protocols designed in the Federal Council of Education, which would be revalidated and adjusted on February 12, the minister emphasized coordinating the work with the Transportation area.
"
We are going to reinforce public transport during peak hours
and stagger admission to decongest transport and avoid massive movements at the school door," he said.
Trotta, who in the next few days will finish his tour throughout the country to hear the plans of the governors of the 24 districts, is making progress on the draft of a "national" protocol to establish control and flexibility schemes.
This week he will meet with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, the head of the City Government, the first district that plans to re-implement face-to-face, on February 17.
