The municipalities admit that so far it is difficult to return the primates, the obstacle is the offer to test

Vilnius is already known to have selected three more schools where primary students will return to contact education. It is announced that the project will be implemented at Baltupiai Progymnasium, J. Basanavičius Progymnasium and Vyturys Primary School.

As said about Delfi Paulius Vaitek spokesnas, spokesman for the Vilnius municipality, it is difficult to talk about in which other schools this project could be implemented. Also, until the parent surveys are done, it is not easy to answer how many classes could go back to school.

“We still have a lot of conversations with the school community about what is happening this week, so it would be really difficult at this point to discuss the results of the surveys until they are finished.”

Asked if it is not the case that most parents do not really want to carry out this project, P. Vaitekėnas explained that both in the case of Prince Gediminas Progymnasium, and now there are all kinds of opinions.

“Of course, in the first case, and in the second more positive, but we also have different ones, because parents have a wide range of questions. Sometimes those issues are really relevant and addressed, sometimes they are completely irrelevant. “

According to him, it will be re-examined how the project will be carried out in the selected schools and how parents will react so that the return of students can continue.

Conduct urgent surveys of educational communities

Kaunas city spokeswoman Aušrinė Vaščėgaitė briefly commented that her municipality is currently “under consideration”. It was unable to provide data on how many schools expressed a desire to join the project.

Klaipeda city spokeswoman Aušra Lukauskienė said that two schools by the sea could agree to participate in this project.

“So far, two schools have been interested in the Rainbow Trail and maybe another. However, data is still being collected, in which case parental consent is crucial.”

The spokeswoman speculated that there may be more reluctance in her municipality to do so.

Šiauliai Mayor Artūras Visockas commented that he would know the exact answer on Tuesday, but has now decided to try.

“But you know, one part depends on our decision and the other part depends on the community. We have a specific school in the southern district of the city, its director is Kęstutis Šaltis (Šiauliai Sandora Progymnasium – Delfi). It seems to me that this process will happen. “Although I don’t want events to go ahead. There will be completely accurate information tomorrow, but I have a feeling that 90% of us will do this somewhere.”

According to the mayor of Šiauliai, for the moment, an attempt will be made to implement this project in a school, but if it is successful, other educational institutions could also copy it.

“It is a bit regrettable that the direction is not chosen. The main focus of the Ministry of Education is primary education, which is very important, but also important for graduates. We prefer to blow those bubbles and cover all graduates. The fate of those people are also very important, because this is an important year for them. “

According to him, twelve are already mature people and the common goal is to bring together both parents and students. When asked if he already knows how the parents of primates react to this offer, A. Visock believes that at least in the case of graduates, everyone should agree.

“We will start with one, because we want to succeed. I am sure that the success of that school will be an example of success and we will be able to connect other schools in a few weeks.”

Lauras Jagminas, Deputy Mayor of Panevėžys City Municipality, informed Delfi that no schools in the city have expressed interest in participating in this project so far, but his education department has asked school leaders to ask their communities if they would like to participate in this project. draft. The results should be clear by Tuesday morning.

“This is a very sensitive issue, since it affects the entire educational community, its administration, the service personnel, and we have agreed that we are waiting for information from them before the end of this working day. In fact, it is very complicated and so far the government has not made a decision on how that process should work.

According to the mayor’s advisor, he has serious doubts about whether there will be schools in his city willing to participate in this project, since the Easter and primary holidays are approaching. According to him, parents may want their children to go back to school, but in this case, that return is not easy, so it is not clear if it will happen.

Smaller municipalities would like to try it too

Alytus Jurgita Deputy Mayor Šukevičienė has not been able to say anything specific on this issue so far, explaining that community surveys are still being conducted. However, he would like to see schools agree to join the project.

“Everyone has missed that contact training, but no concrete action has been taken yet. A survey was conducted in one school, which is about 80 percent. Parents at that school would like the project to be carried out and the remaining percentage would not agree. “

Radviliskis d. Deputy Mayor Mindaugas Pauliukas stated that at this time children have the opportunity to study at school if they do not have the opportunity to study at home.

“We still do not have the results of the survey, but, in my subjective opinion, that would be the correct decision. In the practice of other countries it is seen that it is necessary. Of course, I am not a specialist (…), but yes there weren’t many rivals, I think it would be good to start doing that. “

Salcinininkai d. Regina Markevič, head of the municipality’s department of education and sports, commented that this possibility was discussed with the directors last Friday.

“I spoke with the schools today and the principals of the schools have meetings with the parents. We should have decided tomorrow, and on Wednesday we will try to reach a consensus with the Public Health Office on how to make the mobile point work, because for some parents it is problematic to go to Šalčininkai. Families often live with grandparents. “

According to her, the implementation of this project is not as easy as it seems and there are many problems of logistics and harmonization.

“We must first agree on the testing process and what that first test would be like, which should be done at the mobile point. It is not clear if the whole house should be transported if the grandparents also live in the family. We really have issues that still need to be clarified. “

ŠMSM Delfi also indicated that it is waiting for the decision of the municipalities until Tuesday night, and the final data will be on Wednesday morning.
