The boys have not started face-to-face classes
,"
Silvia Salvio, one of the organizers
, told
Clarín
.
In addition, it maintains that, after a year of virtuality, the Provincial Council of Education and the Ministry of Health decided to adhere to the jurisdictional plan of the Minister of Education of the Nation, Nicolás Trotta, to restart face-to-face classes from 2021.
And it points to "a political issue", along with a conflict between the provincial government and the province's educational unions.
He also adds that the city currently has only two occupied beds and that cases of coronavirus infections have been declining in recent months.
El Calafate is one of the seven cities of Santa Cruz that will start the 2021 school year in the same way as last year: without students in the classrooms and with virtual classes.

Everything is open here in Calafate
, tourism, institutes, the casino, agencies, the portal is open, you can enter and leave, the boys meet, visit each other, share birthdays.
Calafate is working normally
with distancing and
the schools are not open,
"Salvio tells this medium.
For this reason, this Sunday, they decided to mobilize to the door of the Government, and then they moved to the house of the vice president to make visible the claim for the return to the classrooms.
However, Salvio clarifies that they are a "nonpartisan" organization and that the initiative to go to the former president's home came from a group of parents, but that it was not within the call.
On Thursday, the local legislature discussed a
project for the return to the classroom
, due to an initiative of the deputy Juan Manuel Miñones, who was accompanied by the opposition of Juntos por el Cambio, but which was finally shelved.
On Saturday, through decree No. 278, Governor Alicia Kirchner established the continuity of the DISPO throughout the provincial territory until April 9, in line with the decision of President Alberto Fernández.
At the end of February, Mayor Javier Belloni sent a letter to the heads of Health and Education of Santa Cruz
"to request the resumption of face-to-face classes in the area of this town
.
"
But he did not get a positive response.
Finally, the network of families for the return to face-to-face classes want to
meet with the provincial chief of Cabinet
, Leonardo Álvarez.
And also carry out an appeal before the Justice to achieve a return to the classrooms in 2021, in the absence of a response from the Provincial Council of Education of Santa Cruz.
