The Pernambuco Labor Court accepted, on Monday (5), the request of the Pernambuco Teachers Union (Sinpro-PE) to prevent the return to face-to-face classes in private schools in the state. The union filed a public civil action, last Friday (2), requesting the revocation of the return of face-to-face classes in the state. According to Sinpro-PE, the lawsuit was filed “to preserve the right to life.”

In the decision, Judge Hugo Cavalcanti Melo Filho determines the suspension of the resumption of face-to-face activities in the private educational establishments of Pernambuco, until the government proves before a court that it has verified, through effective control, the adoption by said establishments, of the measures imposed by protocol of resumption. The magistrate also demands that the State “inform the schools of this decision, that they refrain from resuming classroom activities.”

According to the judge, the State must also, through an act of the Executive Power, define a “risk group”, based on parameters established by the World Health Organization (WHO), and “determine that private schools abstain from convene face-to-face activities of the teachers that make up the group, ”says Hugo Cavalcanti, from the 12th Vara do Trabalho do Recife, in the document.

State strike

The decision of the Regional Labor Court of Region VI (TRT6) applies only to schools in the private network of Pernambuco. In the state network, theoretically, the return forecast is maintained this Tuesday. The problem is that, in a meeting held yesterday, the teachers of the network decided to maintain the strike promulgated on Thursday, with regard to face-to-face activities, and to continue working only in the remote system.

The strike was considered illegal by the Court of Justice of Pernambuco, but the teachers decided to continue the strike by 82.5% of the votes, against 14.6% for the total resumption and 3.3% for the abstentions.

On September 21, the Pernambuco government announced the return of face-to-face classes in state schools of basic education to public and private schools in all regions of the state.

The return will be optional and it will be up to the parents or students over 18 years of age to decide whether or not to attend the classroom activities. The distance learning model should continue to be offered.

For the entrance exams and the National Baccalaureate Exam (Enem), the return begins with the students of the last year of basic education. Then, as of October 13, classes for the second year of high school are authorized. On October 20, the plan for first-year high school students advances. Face-to-face activities will be allowed both in regular schools and in Comprehensive, Technical and Youth and Adult Education (EJA).

This is the number of third-year high school students in Pernambuco, according to the 2019 edition of the School Census, from the Ministry of Education (MEC). In the entire high school there are 335 thousand students. Basic education in Pernambuco has 2.1 million students.
