The return to school in January still presents several problems: in addition to those linked to the organization of the territories in terms of public transport services, there is an aspect that should not be overlooked that could weigh on the return date of the children. high school students to class. second grade: post-holiday covid data.
First the post-Christmas data and then the return date?
Indeed, the words of the Governor of Campania By LucaIn addition to raising the usual wind of controversy, they seem to touch a nerve: “I see that there is talk of the reopening of the school year on the 7th. This is one of the things that drives me crazy in this country: setting dates despite everything. But how do you say that we open on January 7 without having verified the epidemiological situation on 3, 4 or 5. I think that in Campania we will not open all of 7, in fact, we certainly will not open all of 7 “said the president of the Campania Region.
And even if the Minister of Transport De Micheli notes that “We have prepared a plan to reorganize the local public transportation in order to be ready by January 7th for the reopening of the school with up to 75% attendance. All Italian Regions have already prepared the minutes for the reorganization of the Tpl“, Both of them Health Minister Hope that he coordinator of Cts Miozzo, have made it clear in recent days that the date of January 7th it may not even be respected. “We also kept the first cycle open in the red zone., – recalled the Minister of Health – we have protected it as much as possible. There is an agreement with the Regions to reopen in the presence of more than 50%”. “The objective – states in relation to the trend of the contagion curve – it is 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Now we have 150”.
Second Agostino Miozzo, instead, yes “reopens on the 7th or 11th, there will be little difference compared to the many months when school It has been closed. The capacity was 50%, in general, but there are several Regions that will be ready for 75% ”.
It matters little if the European Center for Disease Control has made it clear that school was not the engine of contagion in the second wave. The study prepared by European Center for Disease Control (Ecdc), can be summarized as follows: the return to classrooms in mid-August in several countries coincided with a general relaxation of other restrictive measures in many countries, and therefore it does not appear to have been an engine of contagion in the second wave of cases observed in many European states in October. However, in January it could be crucial to assess the situation before starting face-to-face classes.
Staggered schedules and transportation: school autonomy will prevail
And then there is the organization of staggered schedules: despite the State-Regions agreement that foresees differentiated entry and exit shifts, i school leaders don’t change their minds: In many cases, getting students to go to school at 9 or 10 is not easy to achieve. That is why directors in recent days have repeatedly pointed out this criticality.
The feeling is that there will be no uniform back to school for everyone, neither as a date nor in the organization of schedules and school transport related to them. And perhaps not even in the percentage of face-to-face lessons: De Luca himself said that 50% in the first days seems too much. Reasoning that will also address other territories. Also because, as has often happened, school autonomy will prevail: the institutions will apply the national prescriptions in the measures and methods that they can really guarantee.
