Three weeks after the start of the school year, the coronavirus epidemic has yet to break out in educational institutions. When asked by Magyar Nemzet, the ministry said that out of more than 13,000 sites, only 14 sites (13 kindergartens and one school) had overtime breaks, and around 150 institutions had switched to digital work schedule, but mostly only one class, not the whole school.

According to information received from the Ministry of Human Resources (Emmi) in the Friday edition of the newspaper, the provisions are temporary, as it turned out that students from more and more institutions can return to traditional working hours, for example, more than one a dozen of those decisions were made on Tuesday.

The government has made it clear on several occasions in recent days that a nationwide school closure or digital shift like March will certainly not happen during the fall, as the country cannot close a second time. It is envisaged that even if the coronavirus hits its head, only the affected class, group or institution will be isolated, while teaching will remain elsewhere. This method seems to be working, the infection has not yet spread like wildfire in educational institutions. The Office of Education (OH) can order an extraordinary break and operational staff can order a digital work schedule.

Student safety is ensured by a series of precautions, which are summarized in a seventy point epidemiological action plan, also available on the OH website. Based on the central recommendation, each school and kindergarten has developed its own local protocol, an important part of which is that parents and outsiders cannot enter the institutions, only with special permission, cleaning staff disinfects 24 hours, everyone wears masks in public spaces, and try to avoid confusion in classes, groups of students. In good weather, classes can also be held in the courtyard, but swimming lessons, afternoon sports, choirs, and other leisure activities should be suspended, and celebrations, events, and trips abroad should be postponed.

In vocational training, according to the directors’ reports, the hybrid teaching method that combines learning in the classroom and at home also works well. In such cases, groups are shared, students are given many project assignments that can be done at home, and take weekly shifts to have as few people as possible in the school at one time.

As of October 1, temperature measurement will also be mandatory for teachers and students of all educational institutions when entering buildings.

At the beginning of the school year, the government provided the necessary amount of disinfectant and, at the request of medical director Cecília Müller, district and district offices randomly check the cleanliness and presence of cleaning and disinfectant agents and paper towels, the newspaper reported. .
