The Minister of Education, Sorin Cîmpeanu, asks the Minister of Health, Vlad Voiculescu, that schools remain open even if the critical threshold of 6 Covid-19 cases per thousand inhabitants is exceeded.
Sorin Cîmpeanu requests in an address sent to the Ministry of Health that the educational units not be closed until the quarantine is declared.
The application is framed in the context in which, during this period, the students carry out the simulation of the Baccalaureate exam.
The minister states in the document that health protection measures are observed in schools more than elsewhere.
At the same time, the request is being honored in order to prevent further education losses and social unrest among young people.
Capital It exceeded the critical threshold of 6 cases of coronavirus per thousand inhabitants, according to the prefect of the Capital. Alin Stoica said a day ago that exceeding this threshold does not automatically impose a quarantine.
On Sunday, Sorin Cîmpeanu broadcast once again that schools must be closed last, “Only if the epidemiological situation requires it.” In support of this principle, the Minister of Education refers to a Reuters study showing that “the infection rate among students who learn online is higher than among students who go to school.”
According to the joint order of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, all students go to education exclusively online when the contagion rate of 6 per thousand inhabitants is exceeded in the last 14 days.
