Face-to-face activities in private schools, which were authorized by the state government as of next Monday (5) and had been blocked by the courts, were released again. A new decision of the Regional Labor Court (TRT), of the XVII Region, suspended the precautionary measure that had prevented the return to school in the private sector. It also accepted the removal of teachers from classroom classes who are part of the group at risk of Covid-19 and older than 60 years.
Justice releases the return of face-to-face classes in the private network of ES
In the favorable return decision, Judge Denise Alves Tumoli Ferreira pointed out that new documents attached to the process revealed that the measures and protocols determined by the state government, especially after August, allow the resumption of face-to-face activities. “The documents collected by Sinepe also demonstrate the seriousness and commitment of educational establishments to health protocols,” he said.
Regarding the requirement to return only after the existence of a vaccine, or when it can be guaranteed that there is no risk of contamination by Covid-19, the judge considered that “the impossible is near.” “First, because even with vaccination we will not be able to achieve the degree of guarantee claimed in order ‘e’, that there is no risk of contamination, since viruses can suffer genetic mutations. Second, there is no way to guarantee that an individual will not contract the virus when it is invisible and can be anywhere; only the fact of looking for supplies for our survival can we hire it, “he said in his decision.
Denise Ferreira also made observations about the lethality of the disease in children under 19 years of age. “Age of most students, the mortality rate is 0.02% (data from Alert Covid-19, Google) and that, in the general population, the rate is 2% on average, according to data from the World Organization Health Health (WHO).
Another point, according to her, is that the topic “Return to face-to-face classes” has been treated with great commitment and seriousness by the different educational establishments through virtual meetings “, in which the coordinators explain in detail the procedures adopted, and practice . daily at the entrance and exit of students and during classes, also recording that there is no way to predict that there will be such an agglomeration that the union will bring, since the forecast is of rotation between classes and students, in addition to being optional, it depends parents decide on their children. “
Finally, Denise Ferreira highlighted that the school plays an important social role in the development of children and adolescents. “Many find in the teacher not only their“ subject teacher ”, but also the one who interacts, who often entertains (always teaching), a friend, an advisor. Children and adolescents need the school to develop properly, to be related, even with the necessary distance at this time, and even with the rotation, “he said.
In addition to restitution, the judge also authorized the face-to-face license of teachers at risk, older than 60 years. “Or that they present a medical report (which can be submitted electronically), specifying Covid-19 as a risk group for heart or diabetic or respiratory problems, or others, if this is extracted from the medical report. Said teachers must remain in teleworking (as is currently the case), without prejudice to salaries, as long as there is guidance for social isolation on the part of health organizations, ”he said.
