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.
