“I am not cooking”. With this concise phrase, most high school students answer the question of whether they will return to their school tomorrow to close this special school year. Most, in light of the Panhellenic Exams, tell “K” that they will continue to prepare at home, even doing their online tutoring. Therefore, a minority of students will likely be at the desks tomorrow, the number of which will become even more limited as June 15 approaches, the start date of this year’s Panhellenic Exams, which they are expected to participate in. about 90,000 candidates for general and vocational high schools.
In particular, after the two-month suspension of the operation of the schools, tomorrow, according to the government plan, which is based on the unanimous decision of the National Commission for the Protection of Public Health, students from 3 ° Lyceum return to the classrooms, while on May 18 their students Lyceum A΄ and B΄, and high school. Students will go to school in rotating sections as a result of dividing the class in two. There will be antiseptics in the schools, there will be natural ventilation, different breaks will be provided for the students, while the operation of the canteens is prohibited.

Of course, most high school students will not attend classes. After all, it is an annual tradition that graduates do not “spend” absences during the school year, so they are absent for the last month before repeating panhellenic exams.
Especially since this year, due to emergency measures to return to schools, the Ministry of Education has provided the possibility of an innumerable absence for students who have a special reason, according to the statement of their parents, to stay home ( for example, if there is a person in the house in a vulnerable group). This essentially allows students to be absent.
“I do not take risks”
“Participating in panhellenic exams is a vital goal. So it is not the best thing I can do to avoid getting sick. Therefore, I will not go to school unless it is absolutely necessary for me to obtain a document.” said Mikelino Maragoudakis, a student at Anavryta Standard Secondary School, who points to the Law of Athens. “It is a sad decision because I like school and I would like to see my classmates.” On the other hand, I have completed the study of the subject and now I am only doing repetitions, “he adds.
“I am going to school tomorrow, because it is my last year and I want to meet my classmates,” said Michelin classmate Antonia Stamouli. “At first I will go with a mask and antiseptics, to see what the situation will be like. The benefit of going back to school is that we will return to the rhythms, lessons and regularity of the school. The online course has the advantage that it does not lose the moving time, but in life it is easier to concentrate “, adds Antonia, who points to a school of positive and technological sciences.

“I will go to school tomorrow, as it is the first day of my return, but I don’t think I am constantly attending the rest of the lessons. I will go whenever I need something to clarify the Panhellenic Exams,” says Alexandros Angelidis, a graduate student. from the 7th Kalamaria High School, to “K”. “I am not afraid of being trapped, nor is there anyone in the house who belongs to a vulnerable group.” But in the last days before the Panhellenic Games, I want to focus on the repetition of the material examined, “adds Alexandros, whose main objective is the School of Civil Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
“Maybe I’ll go when we write a simulation exam for the Panhellenic exams. But not the rest of the days,” admits, speaking to “K”, Dimitris Tsoukas, a 3rd grade student at the Anavryta Standard High School, who will claim a put in the Law of Athens. “After being locked up at home for so long, it is a fact that I now hesitate to go out and risk an absence from the Panhellenic Exams,” he added.
“I don’t feel safe in school and I won’t go. I don’t want to risk so many months of preparation, as I don’t know if going back to school is helpful. We have completed the test material” states “K” Tassos Frantzis, a student from 2nd Lyceum of Thessalonica, which points to the AUTh Law School. As for the uncertainty about the fate of the panhellenic exams, if they will be carried out in June, July or September, as was the case between the scenarios, Tassos states that he was not affected. As he emphasizes, “I continued to prepare adequately, as there was a certainty that the Panhellenic Exams would take place. You need a good study and calm.”
Tutoring continues online
Most tutoring courses for 3rd Lyceum candidates will continue via the Internet, although the government decision foresees the opening of tutoring centers for Panhellenic candidates, in accordance with security regulations. “No child asked us to take life lessons,” observes Amalia Xeri, a tutor at K. “We could take life lessons, but none of our students has asked. In addition, we used Internet material from an early age,” he adds. Dimitris Takopoulos, owner of a teaching center in Thessaloniki, at “K”.

The climate among students reasonably reflects the views of parents, most of whom are reluctant to let their children go to school. “Of course, it is best for children to go to school and finish the school year in the natural school environment. However, parents are very cautious and many will probably not send children,” said Ioannis Fotiadis, president of the Association. from Leontiou Nea Smyrni’s Parents, to “K” yesterday. In fact, the school has submitted proposals to the school to strengthen protective measures.
On the other hand, OLME has asked the Ministry of Education to reconsider its decision to open schools, urging teachers to use special permits for vulnerable groups. Of course, for students who say they will stay home, distance learning will continue with the use of educational materials. On the other hand, OLME did not agree with the retransmission of the teachers ‘live lessons in the students’ houses.
