The Minister of Education, Raul Figueroa, celebrated this Wednesday the realization of the first meeting of the Advisory Council for the return to face-to-face classes, between the Secretary of State and Unesco.
Figueroa reiterated the need for schools to reopen face-to-face classes, indicating that distance classes do not have the same impact and that this affects children’s learning.
“This council will collaborate in identifying the best practices and in collecting the evidence and experience that allow schools to be available to their students (…) It is key, not only from the point of view of learning,” he said.
The Secretary of State explained that the council seeks to “accompany the process of opening educational establishments and take advantage of that experience for the next one.”
“During this time, the Ministry of Education has provided all the necessary support for distance classes to cushion the impact of the pandemic (…) The time that remains is tremendously valuable,” he added.
Under the same point, Figueroa argued that he had been in schools where the return to face-to-face classes was carried out, where he indicated that fourth-year students had appreciated the measure and that it allows them “to be able to close a school year that is unique to them”.
Finally, the minister indicated that 220 schools are already operating in person and that as the Ministry of Education they have received 800 requests to return.
