“593 children have come, it is a great majority. All the families who planned took the tests – 630. I think today is another working day with a high dose of responsibility and psychological stress, because this is the beginning of a new system, ”R. Remeika told BNS.
A total of 32 out of 35 primary classes, with a total of about 800 children, contacted education again after school holidays.
According to R. Remeika, three classes with full distance education have just under 100 children, as well as around 100 more children from all classes who, for various reasons, are unable or unwilling to participate in face-to-face classes.
“The main reason is fear, because there are groups at risk or sick people in the family. There are also people who now have the COVID-19 infection and cannot physically come. There are also families who have left and plan to educate their children at a distance until the end of the announced quarantine, on February 28. Children learn from other places, even from other countries ”, explained the director.
According to him, all primary school teachers who work have been vaccinated and in most classes they work in pairs. Three teachers refused to be vaccinated and one teacher refused to test for the coronavirus, allowing him to teach lessons remotely.
The students returned to classes in the three departments of the capital school. To ensure that individual classes do not have contact with each other, according to the principal, the hallways are separated by partitions. Protective masks for children are just a recommendation, which, he said, are more dutifully followed by older primers.
“The corridors are separated in length and width to minimize collisions, and the lesson times are different so that children can go out to the gym, so that those who eat can go to eat and not meet other children. Children play sports mostly on the field, this was also asked by the teachers, because the weather is good outside, the fields are clean, ”said R. Remeika.
The principal said that efforts will be made in the coming days to improve teleworking, as both distance learning after regular and hybrid, where students in the classroom and at home are taught at the same time, is a “burden. and additional challenge “for teachers.
Last week, the Government allowed the resumption of contact training for the Duke of Vilnius Gediminas Progymnasium before others. The Cabinet of Ministers also ruled that families of teachers and students must cumulatively test for coronavirus before resuming contact education.
In case of a negative result, the child or educator can go to school if the test is positive, a PCR test is performed, and if a family member is diagnosed with COVID-19, the child must be isolated for two weeks. at home and continue education remotely.
The director says that new tests for children and educators will be conducted at the school this Friday, organized by public health professionals.
“Then on Saturday and Sunday, we will sit at the discussion table with the founder and talk about how we continue,” said the director of the progymnasium.
The Ministry of Education, Science and Sport predicts that all primary school children will be able to return to schools with a coronavirus incidence rate of less than 200 cases per 100,000. population, and the proportion of positive tests will be less than 10 percent.
Most of the students, excluding those in primary school, switched to distance or mixed learning since November 7 of last year, with the introduction of the second quarantine, the rest do not go to school and continue their distance education from the middle from December. Beginning January 21, students with learning difficulties will be able to return to class.
