“Studies have shown that schools are not outbreaks of the virus and schools have been closed to reduce the mobility of adults. “Our objective and priority is to open schools and there is the possibility of opening primary schools first and then Gymnasiums and Lyceums,” Education Minister Niki Kerameos said today in statements to ANT1, adding however that the moment when it will reopen schools rely on infectious disease specialists.
Referring to e-learning, he said: “What happened in recent days is unprecedented for the country and no one would have believed a few months ago that due to the pandemic all the schools in the country would be transferred digitally. On the first day of the connection of the country’s Gymnasiums and Lyceums, there were arrhythmias, the system had to be coordinated, there was a pan-European problem, but for two weeks the lessons have been held in tens of thousands of virtual classes every day. The same happened on the first day of the connection of the elementary schools, there were problems and there will continue to be some problems, but now the lessons are done ”, said N. Kerameos.
Regarding the absences of the students, he said that these are not taken into account when there are technical problems, however on other days the lessons are mandatory for everyone and must be attended by the children.
For the Ilia incident
The minister claimed that a document from the director of education proves that the children were not even connected to the e-learning platform. In fact, he pointed out that they did not use the device that existed in the school and that was at their disposal, reiterating that the ministry is ready at any time to intervene to provide solutions in such cases.
He added that distance education is a great undertaking: “It is credited to our teachers, students and their families.” There is nothing that can replace lifelong learning, “he said.
In reference to electronic devices, laptops and tablets, which are expected to be delivered to students, he stressed that “we have launched 90,000 devices. We have provided a platform for free education throughout the educational community. Third, we managed to provide free data. “” If you don’t have anything, not internet, not electronic media, you can connect through a landline, “he added.
When asked about complaints that laptops are taken by teachers and not students, he replied that a circular has been issued and laptops are given to students on financial terms.
“It all started in spring. Like I told you, everyone has access even through a landline.”
