Parents want to go back to work, but have received an unpleasant request from kindergarten: Will we have to take the inability to work again?

“As long as the mayor talks about logic, pandemic and liberations on social networks, he does not see illogical solutions in his contribution. Wednesday was a very important day for companies, members of society, parents. The government is beginning to ease certain restrictions. Hopefully, people will be able to go back to work and by Monday it will be clear in detail how many companies will have permission to vacate because not everything goes financially.

However, before the announcement of the government resolutions, Šiauliai kindergartens began to pressure parents to bring certificates from workplaces until this Friday, so that the children could attend the educational institution on Monday. Although educational institutions know very well that the government makes decisions on Wednesdays, and even the decision documents travel from the government to the cities or district municipalities for two days, ”one of Šiauliai’s parents submitted an application anonymously.

He also pointed out that now parents do not know if they will be able to work on Monday after a few months of unemployment, because when they relax in one place, they begin to pressure in another.

Perhaps in the meantime the director of the administration A. Bartulis wants to establish nursery services, or perhaps it would be better to start working with determination and observe the educational institutions separately, instead of relying on a common boiler? Preschoolers even call parents on the phone not to marry their children, even though the parents are working hard. Those who do not lead due to a pandemic still pay for education on a monthly basis, although they do not receive any services.

In Šiauliai, on Wednesday, kindergartens announce that educational institutions have currently exceeded the 50 percent attendance limit and, according to the order of the director of the Šiauliai city administration, A. Bartulis, which is the 30 October 2020, workplace certificates must be submitted. And here we are not talking about security, conscience, but disability “.

According to this father, the pandemic is changing, the indicators are changing and every 10 or 14 days everything is reviewed at the government level.

“However, the municipality of the city of Šiauliai as the border with China does not move. It is based on the decision of October 30 of that year, when today is February 11 and the morbidity indicators are other, which are already they are re-calculating because of the excess number.When the mayors of the district municipalities and some cities interpret the morbidity indicators of their city in order to help people, in Šiauliai everything is calculated in a single boiler.

At the government level, attempts are already being made to return primary school children, but in Šiauliai the goal is for the teacher to work with two children in a group for the same salary and the rest to work from home or by contact. but looking for someone to take care of the children. Go ahead together with the Government, do you have enough data from almost 4 months ago? “

“Do we really care about children? Can parents go back on sick leave after 2 months because they are under the total pressure of not having children? Can the state contribute fully to the economic well-being of families? Can they only lead but not analyze? Or should an official work from home with children and grandchildren, and at the same time perform the functions of teacher, father, mother?

Kindergartens must take into account individual requests from parents.

Delfi contacted the Šiauliai city administration and was instructed to contact the Department of Education regarding this issue. He also received a brief explanation stating that the above order was in fact being invoked, but that there would be some exceptions for parents.

“In response to your inquiry, we would like to inform you that the Director of the Municipal Administration of the city of Šiauliai in 2020. December 31 by order no. A-1874 “Regarding the Director of the Administration of the Municipality of the city of Šiauliai in 2020. October 30 order number. A-1498 “On the change of the organization of education” In Šiauliai, the decision was made to organize the education of educated children in accordance with preschool and preschool education programs in institutions only in cases where parents ( adoptive parents, guardians) employees of specialized services (medical personnel, police, soldiers, firefighters) or have presented to the educational institution an employer’s certificate on the need to perform work functions (tasks) in the workplace.

Child attendance is constantly monitored and currently exceeds 50 percent at the city level, so the institutions follow the decision made by the Municipality. Kindergartens take into account individual requests from parents because the presentation of the certificate can take time, and they provide the opportunity to present the document later, ”explained Sandra Verenkaitė-Bubliauskienė, Advisor to the Department of Human Welfare Education and Department of Education of the Municipal Administration of the City of Šiauliai.
