Out of 6,000 educational institutions, four kindergartens and six schools have had to take extraordinary breaks due to the coronavirus disease so far, said Zoltán Maruzsa, Secretary of State for Public Education at the Ministry of Human Resources, on M1. Currently, between 60 and 70 institutions reported for coronavirus infection are being monitored.
The secretary of state stressed that they still do not see the need for a complete transition to digital education, but rather monitor institutions and take specific measures, writes MTI.
Education has started in all parts of Europe according to a traditional working schedule, and the Hungarian government also believes that digital education is an “emergency solution”, traditional education is “more effective in all areas”.
Dozens of institutions are suspected of being infected
They constantly receive data from the National Center for Public Health and reports from educational institutions. If necessary, according to the developed protocol, an extraordinary pause for 2-3 days is first ordered until it is determined whether the quarantine of the infected student has managed to stop the spread of the epidemic.
Currently, 60 to 70 institutions in particular are being monitored, of which a suspected coronavirus infection has been reported. In his opinion, an important part of them will reveal that no further action is needed and a pause will have to be ordered.
There is an institution where the entire faculty has been quarantined and therefore they are moving to digital education as of Monday. It is hoped that after a week or two, normal teaching can return there, says Zoltán Maruzsa.
Educators are not evaluated
According to the secretary of state, the experience of spring is worth taking advantage of. Back then, infection rates were extremely scattered across the country, there were places where the infection started, stopping at a dozen or two in other counties. In counties with low infection rates, educational institutions can operate safely, as there is no one near or far who can bring the virus to school.
According to the Secretary of State, evaluating all the teachers, 170,000 educators, would be a huge logistical task, but it would also produce results in two to three days, as teachers meet people again and again outside of school and, for therefore, they become infected at any time, writes MTI.
