The Ministry of Education blames the company for the collapse of the platform. “Get this far” complains SYRIZA.
The ball on the podium of the Ministry of Education on the current fiasco and the Webex platform collapse for e-learning, which would begin today for hundreds of thousands of students.
Initially, they tried to justify themselves through a leak in the APE-MPE, claiming that the inability to respond is due to a widespread failure of the European server and is not a problem only in Greece.
Shortly afterwards, the Deputy Minister of Education, Sofia Zacharaki, repeated these accusations through ERT, referring to “a central issue of the company outside of Greece.”
He also promised that the company will take the necessary measures to solve the problem, while also indicating that absences from online courses will not be counted for today.
An estimated 600,000 middle and high school children and students will participate in the distance learning platform.
SYRIZA demands the resignation of Kerameans
The reaction from the official opposition was immediate with SYRIZA issuing a harsh statement, harshly criticizing the government and the ministry leadership and demanding the resignation of Niki Kerameos.
That’s! Yesterday Mrs. Kerameos resigned
After the closure of schools where the virus was not immediately transmitted … After the unprecedented disapproval of the government and the Minister of Education and the abstention-record of the teachers of the elections-parody, today a new fiasco for the Kerameos lady. Cisco’s highly publicized Webex platform crashed in the first hours of e-learning and e-learning courses were discontinued in many parts of the country. Some of what the responsible public bodies and especially the Network of Panhellenic Schools had warned about.
SYRIZA, since the spring, had requested investments in public digital infrastructure and had opposed the delivery of e-learning and personal data of students and teachers at Cisco. Unfortunately, in the ears of the deaf. The Ministry of Education, not only for 8 months did not do what it should, but after the new closure of Gyms and Lyceums, instead of dedicating one or two days to testing and simulating the system, it put it into full operation with the result that this time he’s in danger in black. -of the entire national data transmission network.
After the taunts of the teachers, the disapproval and anger of the society for the extremely high incompetence and the unfathomable “excellence of the personnel” of the government and especially of the direction of the Ministry of Education, is more intense than ever. Madam Minister of Education, so far you have done a lot of damage to education. That’s!
Resignation yesterday, Mrs. Kerameos.
“Staff fiasco”
The Movement for Change spokesperson comment was also critical, with Pavlos Christidis commenting “Students cannot connect to the distance education system. It has fallen across the country. Staff fiasco.”
The Ministry of Education and the head of the party’s KTE for Education, Chara Kefalidou, characterize unsuspecting, noting:
Webex’s first day of operation and the system crashed within the first two hours of operation. The occasional readiness assurances ‘went for a ride’ from the get-go. Where is the reliability provided by the contract with CISCO? Where is the contract itself that never made it to Parliament even though it was requested by all parties?
Since last March, the Ministry should have known the possibilities and strengths of the system. It should have used the existing studies in the drawers of those responsible for improving the infrastructure of school units.
The Panhellenic Schools Network that collapsed today is shocking proof of the total lack of preparation of the leaders of the Ministry of Education to tackle the burning issues of education.
Distance education will be the main form of education from now on. We all, and especially the Government, must face the difficult circumstances imposed by the pandemic. Finally, the seriousness of the seriousness we have left over is sought!
