A complicated start to the school year has had Figueroa, with the closure of schools due to the coronavirus, which exceed 30, as indicated by the Mineduc authorities themselves.
It was the Secretary of State himself who clarified the figure, denying that there were 50 schools as reported The Mercury, adding that no contagion has occurred in schools, which makes them safe places, if it is considered – according to their perspective – that the 86% of cases occur in homes.
According to Minister Figueroa, there are more than 3 thousand educational establishments that are open, two thousand of which corresponds to kindergartens and nurseries.
The Senate Education commission, meanwhile, decided to officiate the Mineduc authorities to deliver a detailed report with the process of opening the schools, due to complaints made by Junji workers, who report unhealthy conditions and non-compliance with health protocols, as detailed by the senator of the Christian Democracy, Yasna Provoste.
The parliamentarian indicated that the idea is that the Ministry of Education report the resources allocated for the reopening, the number of schools that were projected to open on March 1, how many establishments have had to close and the reasons.
Regarding the possibility of suspending face-to-face classes due to the increase in infections, Minister Figueroa said that the conditions are different from March 2020, when that decision was made.
The Secretary of State pointed out that all establishments in the country are prepared to reconcile safety and recovery of learning, highlighting that this is an effort being made by the other countries in the region.
