For not achieving the necessary quorum, The Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday rejected the project that allowed the return to classes only as of 2021 in basic and middle education.
The project achieved 75 votes in favor, 47 against and 27 abstentions, but needed 89 affirmative votes for approval.
The text of the initiative stated that, as permitted by the deconfinement plans, “educational establishments that provide basic and secondary education may restart face-to-face classes as of 2021, only when the health authority verifies that the necessary health conditions exist. to avoid the risk of contagion from Covid-19 “.
The proposal had been rejected by the Minister of Education, Raul Figueroa, who stated that “it affects various constitutional guarantees, the most evident of which is the right to education. There are communities that want to go back to classes, that are in a position to do so, complying with all security measures, but what this initiative does in practice is to prevent that from happening. “
