Return of students to schools with mandatory self-diagnosis

Self-test, that is proof auto diagnosis that will be mandatory for students and teachers is the main pillar on which your entire project is based smooth and smooth restart of permanent education in schools starting high school on Monday, April 12 since the Baccalaureate students will participate in the Panhellenic Exams that will normally take place in mid-June.

The date of return of the students to their physical classes will be re-evaluated this week by the expert committee, based on the epidemiological data that will prevail in the country, but also with the availability of self-tests that are expected to be found in pharmacies, from which parents and teachers will obtain them within the week. Students will have priority in self-assessments. while last Friday began the vaccination of public and private schools with unavailable vaccines.

The large increase in cases did not allow the opening of schools in parallel with the retail trade as of tomorrow, Monday, April 5, how was the original proposal of the Minister of Education Victory Κεραμέως. However, even for the next Monday 12 April nothing is certain as everything will be judged by the course of the pandemic and the ability to find and use the self-diagnostic tests correctly.

In case all goes well and the high schools open on April 12, then the resumption of operation of secondary schools is expected to take place a week later, that is April 19, even though the ministry Education wish if it is possible for them to open together with the high schools. In fact, according to valid information from protothema.gr, this year there will be no promotional exams either, as happened last year. Secondary Education.

For primary school and day care centers the most likely scenario at this time is reboot after Easter i.e Monday May 10 since its reopening together with the secondary schools does not gather the positive opinions of the committee members. The Ministry of Education has clarified that this year there will be no live or remote lessons during the Easter holidays, as was done last year.

On the contrary, it has already been announced the extension of the school year until the end of June and not further for reasons of socializing and stimulating the psychology of children and not to cover the curriculum that has already been done through distance education, which has worked perfectly throughout this school year.

Of course there are members Commission They consider it dangerous to open in parallel with the operation of the trade, any other activity in the current epidemiological conditions, particularly burdensome and with the pandemic that has not yet reached its peak, however the ministry Education considers that by observing all protection measures and regulations and of course the use of self-evaluations, the return of students to classes as necessary, after such a period of abstinence from their natural environment, can be done without problems.

The reason secondary schools are given priority is understandable and concerns the fact that their students Γ΄λυκείου should compete in Panhellenic Exam , which will normally be done on time, as assured by ministry Education. Furthermore, for technical and practical reasons, it is not possible to operate it alone Γ‘ Lyceum but it must be general for the entire specific level of education.

In addition, high school students are the ones who have spent the least time this year, in permanent teaching, in relation to the other levels, while it is considered that children between 16 and 18 years old can also know better the oneself proof. In fact, according to the vice minister Politics Protection, Nikos Hardware, the discussion is taking place so that the schools open on April 12, but a decision that will affect some classes, according to clarified.

Second on the priority list are gyms that were essentially opened just to a week and a half in the Attica region and in the other red zones and thus precede the primary schools and kindergartens that operated for about five weeks.

Another reason that leaves them primary school schools a little further back is related to the mobility of parents and grandparents, who transport children to and from school and that would increase a lot with the opening of stores. Desire from Ministry is to open everything Steps from education, However the infectious disease specialists I want a return to educational regularity progressive.

With self-examination in schools

Confirmation that it was made oneself proof once in week It is a prerequisite for participation in any educational process throughout life (course, workshops, etc.). The certificate will be delivered at the school for students and teachers and at the University for students.

Parents must sign each week responsable statement, in which it will be said that his son underwent a coronavirus test and left negative Every Monday they will send the statement of account to the school informing that it has been done the test and that it is negative, something that is left to individual and social responsibility.
