The opening of schools has become a crossword for strong solvers, with government and experts in constant meetings to make the necessary decisions.

The government proposes the opening of schools as a first step to ease the closure. However, experts express their doubts and fears, and parents and students remain anxiously awaiting decisions.

Teachers and infectious disease specialists are trying to find the safest solution for getting children back to school.

OLME President Theodoros Tsouchlos suggested that schools open after the holidays with the possibility of testing students and teachers, while noting that several teachers have already contracted coronavirus.

“Unfortunately, the educational community in recent days is mourning notable colleagues who lost their battle against the coronavirus. Also, the number of teachers who are sick is large, some of them are in a difficult situation,” he explains.

Scientists are divided

The infectious disease specialist and member of the national committee, Marios Lazanas, said that he is divided between the opening and the permanence of closed schools since he stressed that there is a problem.

“I am divided, that is, I think there is a problem with the schools. “I have many families here in Athens who have been infected with the virus and the problem has come from the schools,” he emphasizes.

Pediatrics teacher and member of the expert committee, Vana Papaevangelou, was in favor of opening primary schools.

“We are processing the data of the Ministry of Education to see exactly what cases occurred during the weeks that the schools were open. “The epidemiologist Ms Sypsa is processing all this data and we will discuss it in committee to see the real numbers and not people’s sentiment,” he said.

Decisions on the opening of schools are expected to be made and announced in the coming days.

Schools since … 2021?

In any case, the possibility of schools opening in 2021 is gaining ground.

This is because day by day the chances of opening on December 14 are minimized, when the lock will end after the second extension, which is considered a fact that will occur. On the contrary, hopes remain open on December 14 for retail to open, at least the seasonal and small stores, so that the market can move until Christmas.
