OLME asks secondary school teachers not to implement the measure, arguing that distance education can continue when conditions require it. ● The ILO announcement states that the (Authority) ministry emphasized the need to consult with them. teacher representatives and parents of students before the completion of the antistatic evaluation, which has not happened so far and although, according to the information, the evaluation of the standard is reported to have been completed.
The Minister of Education, Niki Kerameos, remains fully exposed, despite the revealing details of yesterday’s meeting between the country’s two largest educational federations (OLME, IOC) and representatives of the Personal Data Protection Authority (APDPX). . of unprecedented regulation in educational time regarding live streaming of lessons within the school hallways, a regulation that has been negatively commented on and rejected by the entire teacher and No, parents and students. Characteristically, the minister’s clarifications yesterday removed any reference to cameras!
Both the Hellenic Federation of Teachers (DOE) and the Federation of Secondary Education Officials (OLME) confirmed our report yesterday, that is, that there has never been a written opinion or prior consent from the Authority regarding the implementation of the regulation. For its part, APDPX clarifies that there has been communication with the Ministry of Education to provide guidance on the technical formulation of the provision, in relation to the provision of a person responsible for the processing of personal data in the ministry, the use of the resulting data of the course. and, above all, the need to prepare a counter evaluation, which will identify the risks and problems derived from video recording. In addition, the ILO statement said the ministry (on behalf of the Authority) emphasized the need to consult with representatives of teachers and parents of students before completing the evaluation of the form, something that has not happened so far and although, according to information, the countdown is said to have been completed.
The absence of the Authority’s consent is also indicated by the Panhellenic Association of Associate Professors (PASAD), whose members also met with the President and the Scientific Council of the Personal Data Protection Authority. “The Minister has legislated and will have to support his legislative proposal with a counter report, which will include an exhaustive investigation of all the consequences, positive and negative, of the application of the law with a specific ministerial decision. It is this report that will place at the discretion of the Authority and for which a positive or negative decision will be made. Therefore, to date there is no approval from the Authority for a live broadcast of a classroom lesson and those who have tried or are thinking trying to find out that according to the Authority they are illegal, “said the three PASAD representatives who attended the meeting. stating that they were justified in questioning the existence of a positive decision for the implementation of the measure and leaving advice for the competent minister: “For those who lie, there is also a resignation.”
At this point, the Authority’s attitude of intervention should be observed, since APDPX representatives avoided taking a clear position in favor of the legislative regulation of the ministry, emphasizing that “The purpose of this treatment, which is to provide education, is in principle legal and may, under certain conditions, be the basis for the legal processing of personal data of teachers and students in the context of distance education “, at the same time that they are reserved for details. The matter after the adoption of the Ministerial Decision specifying the individual details.
However, the ministry, taking advantage of the alibi that was given, was quick to clarify that the purpose of the measure is legal, while it did not stop talking about a “disinformation campaign” and a “trial of intent.” The ministry, whose leadership declared in Parliament a few days ago that the law was “approved with the consent of the Authority”, the ministry, which until yesterday was talking about cameras that will scan the entire room or part of it and now supports it, speaks of disinformation. that “Simple portable electronic equipment, such as that used for distance education, ie, computer, tablet, mobile device, any available device, will be used that meets the needs of the teacher’s connection with students for a purpose specific ”, in a classic movement of simultaneous withdrawal and deception.
But beyond the revocation of the minister, indicative of the way in which the implementation of an anti-education measure, which focuses on the personal data of workers and minors, has been methodical, is the fact that preparing a serious evaluation and Scientifically justified requires at least one month to complete. However, the information says that the counter-evaluation is ready and that it is a matter of days before the relevant Ministerial Decision is issued. Indicative of the neglect of the Ministry of Education is the example of Italy and Spain, mentioned by the representatives of the Authority to the members of the IOC, countries in which the corresponding problem arose long before Greece and in which it has not yet been implemented due to to multiple techniques and legal problems that arose.
In a communication that we had with the president of the Federation of Teachers Thanassis Kikini, he reiterated that the IOC in any case rejects the live transmission of the course by any means, affirming that primary teachers are willing to continue providing work through the media modern and asynchronous. training as implemented in the previous period, when needed again. However, OLME also asks secondary school teachers not to implement the measure, arguing that distance education can continue when conditions require it.
The pretty one “
Stella Manousogiorgaki, member of the federation, highlighted the “grace” of yesterday’s meeting, during which OLME representatives were invited to the offices of the Personal Data Protection Authority, while members of the APDPH participated in the meeting through.
“There was only one employee in the office using the computer, the four members of the Authority participated electronically, while we were not allowed to do so, obviously so that we could not record or videotape. This is indicative of how careful they are by protecting their own personal data at a time when data is reproduced and the individual rights of millions of children and hundreds of thousands of teachers are violated, ”Manousogiorgaki told us.
The parents of the students are also at the bars. “Recording the lesson electronically removes all the vitality that a classroom has. The relationship between students and teachers, who self-limit and suppress their spontaneity, is disturbed. It is an unacceptable agreement that they have to recover. As a parent, I will tell my son to leave the room if he realizes he is being videotaped, “he told Ef.Syn. the vice president of the Supreme Confederation of Parents of Students of Greece (ASGME) Dimitris Lambrou, who characteristically characterizes recordings with mobile phones or tablets.
“Instead of looking to upgrade with technological equipment that will help the lesson within the physical classroom, they say they are recording a lesson and are proposing the emergency that we are experiencing.” But we know very well that nothing is more permanent than temporary. The ministry is shortening to ensure universality of access to education, while making it possible for students to refrain from attending classes with a simple statement, making the process optional. ”
Today, educational federations, teachers’ associations, parents and students make an appointment in the early afternoon (13.00) in Propylaea, in the center of Athens, to protest against the Niki Kerameos roadmap, while demanding that the amendment is not implemented. course.
SYRIZA President Alexis Tsipras underscored SYRIZA’s opposition to opening schools, recording videos of students in classrooms, and the multiple bill that was tabled in Parliament during their meeting yesterday afternoon. with the Board. of the Hellenic Federation of Teachers.
As he said, “we have expressed reservations about the need to start schools in just a few days,” he said, adding that the government measure “raises very serious questions and we believe this poses a serious problem of personal protection.” data “.
“We have expressed strong skepticism and call for the Protection of Personal Data. That correspondence between the government and the Authority be made public,” said Alexis Tsipras, adding: “We are concerned that this is not happening, at least as it was introduced, as an emergency measure will have the possibility of a more permanent implementation. ”
Furthermore, the SYRIZA president expressed the general negative attitude of the official opposition towards the bill, saying that “it has a philosophy of privatization of primary / secondary education.”
He went on to say that there was an increase in the number of children per class, noting that “it is a government decision not to hire permanent teachers.” Because that will mean fewer rooms, so less need for teachers. And that’s the main problem for us. “
Combining this with the fact that “in times of a pandemic, the requirement is that the presence of students in the classrooms is scarcer”, Alexis Tsipras clarified that this point of the law is beyond all logic, so we have to express our vertical opposition and we will ask the government to officially withdraw the bill in order to have a very meaningful dialogue with the educational community and with the parties. “
