The Prime Minister’s parliament is entering minute by minute on the strong recommendation of the infectious disease specialist committee to block kindergartens and primary schools across the country.
Purpose of your decision Kyriakou Mitsotaki It is to limit: how dangerous, due to the spread of Covid-19, the phenomena of mobility and synchronicity outside the school campus.
The announcement of the suspension of the operation of primary education units, at the national level, will be made by the Minister of Education, Niki Kerameos, after your communication with the Prime Minister.
According to your exclusive information newsbomb.gr, primary schools and kindergartens will be closed until the first week of December, with the return of the students to the desks scheduled for the 7th of next month. A date that paves the way for the extension of the restrictive measures after November 30, when they would expire based on the previous week’s decisions. This window was also opened by the Prime Minister, the Minister of State, George Gerapetritis, who, speaking with Mega, spoke of a re-evaluation of the measures at the end of the month.
The bottom
THE Kyriakos Mitsotakis concludes this decision for the following reasons: First, the declaration of the first phase of the pandemic that the management of the pandemic by the government is dictated by expert advice. Although The final recommendation of infectious disease specialists for kindergartens and primary education was received by a majority. It was certainly a food for thought.
At the same time, it is a belief based on epidemiological evidence that this sector does not function as a source of excessive transmission of the disease. But nevertheless the prime minister avoided ratifying the softer proposal for a lock on schools in Thessaloniki or in northern Greece as a whole. This choice, despite the aforementioned arguments, at this stage is considered a half measure and would not have the same drastic effect as the closure of schools nationwide.
The radiography of cases in schools.
However, according to the government, the findings show that the school community remains a safe place for both students and teachers., in which dispersal rates remain particularly low. Specifically, the average number of student-cases at the national level is 0.12% from the beginning of the school year until today, a percentage that translates into 1,776 students out of a total of 1,459,119).
In fact, in the last two weeks it has dropped to 0.07% because the suspension regime has been imposed in several schools. In addition, the highest percentage, since the beginning of the school year, for the student-case reason does not exceed 0.40%, with the highest increase in Drama, Kastoria and Serres, while in Thessaloniki it amounts to 0.11%, that is, less than the national average. Even in the last fortnight the percentage of cases in Thessaloniki does not exceed 0.05% because it is only primary schools.
Covid-19 to teachers
The same sources indicate that the average number of teacher cases at the national level is 0.35% from the beginning of the school year to today, while in the last 2 weeks 0.23%. Teachers, older people and more social interaction, there is a higher percentage compared to students that does not exceed 1.40% in Serres, Drama, Pella, while in Thessaloniki it amounts to 0.45% from the beginning of the school year. Also in the last two weeks it has fallen below 1.26% in exacerbation areas, while in Thessaloniki it is at 0.32%, again below the corresponding average.
As government sources conclude the educational community follows the general trend of society, but the percentage difference is obviously less in all cases. There is an increase in the areas with an increase, again it does not correspond to any circumstances with the increase of the community in general.
The ratio of teacher-student cases
At the same time correspondence of cases from teachers to students, since the beginning of the school year increases on average 1 to 3. Regional Units are classified as worst cases:
- Pella (1 teacher for 1.24 students),
- Kilkis (1 to 1.25),
- Kavala (1 to 1.30),
- Evros (1 to 1.38)
- Pieria (1 to 1.42), while in Thessaloniki it is 1 to 2.50.
In particular, in the last 2 weeks, in Pieria there is a relative increase in educational cases, that is, from 1 to 0.83, Pella 1 to 0.90, Kilkis 1 to 1.25, Thessaloniki 1 to 1.52 and Halkidiki 1 to 1, 53. The registered standard numerical correspondence, which is approximately 1 teacher for every 9 students in the homeschool system, has changed from 1 to 3.1 in all cases since the beginning of the school year , while in the last 2 weeks it has changed from 1 to 3.9 (which means that the number of cases per student has increased). The conclusion that is drawn is that, as expected, teachers (belonging to an older and more socially active group) to a greater extent positive.
The incidence of cases in school units
Also in the last two weeks, from the registration of cases of students and teachers in school units and the consequent suspension of their operation, either partially or totally, it follows that only 12.8% of schools had a recurrence of casesthat is, 3 or more cases of students or teachers. More specifically, 123 schools in 956 were closed due to confluence, which are currently in partial or total suspension, a figure that corresponds to 0.87% of all primary and secondary schools.
