All kindergartens and schools in the capital, both state and private, close on Tuesday.

TO UPDATE: The Bucharest Committee for Emergency Situations reversed, during a special meeting called at 7:00 p.m., the situation of kindergartens, extracurricular activities and universities. As a result, they will NOT close as of Tuesday.

The Senate of these institutions will make a decision on the universities. As for kindergartens and extracurricular activities, they remain open. A spokesman for the prefecture said “it was a material error and a correction was made for a material error.” of the joint order of the Minister of Education and Research, the Minister of Health and the Minister of Labor and Social Protection ”, said Monday evening the spokeswoman for the Prefecture of Bucharest, Mariana Stancu-Ţipişcă. When asked why this rectification was made, Ţipişcă said that it “had to be regulated.”

Thus, more than 460,000 children in pre-university education will participate solely in online courses, for at least 14 days. If the prime minister initially announced that after-school programs and nurseries would work, the Bucharest Emergency Situations Committee decided otherwise. On the other hand, teachers who refuse to teach digitally will be penalized. The School Inspection announced inspections during Internet lessons.

And yet, two months before the start of the school year, the schools in the Capital enter the red stage due to the large number of diseases.

We are talking about more than 418 public schools that fall into the red script and another 207 private. In the Bucharest state education system we have 250,000 students and another 200,000 privately. Even kindergarten children will stay home. We’re talking about more than 36,000 state kindergarten preschoolers and nearly 8,000 other deprived children.

Reporter: “Where are the parents?”

Grandmother: “At work.”

Reporter: “If the schools close?”

Grandmother: “Stay with me.”

Mother: “I finished nursing school, but I don’t work, because I have to stay home with him. My grandparents work for both me and my husband. ”

Woman: “I have two, I don’t know how the connection will be, how I will share.”

Although Prime Minister Ludovic Orban announced at noon that kindergartens and after-school centers remain open, the Municipal Committee decided that all units with educational activities will be closed.

Ludovic orban: “The two steps 1 and 3 per thousand do not affect the development of other activities such as nursery and afterhool activities, they are not subject to regulations.”

Students who do not attend online courses will have an unexcused absence, while teachers who refuse to teach online will be disciplined. The sector inspectors will check the completion of the online courses. Basically, they will unannounced into the apps or platforms that students and teachers participate in the lessons on to verify.

The serious thing is that not all the students received the tablets promised by the authorities.

Monica Anisie, Minister of Education: “These tablets that MEC sent to ISMB are the tablets of the” Home School “program. We assign these tablets to those children who do not have any electronic equipment to carry out online classes, for those requests after April. Each province make a purchase for these kids who still need tablets. ”

Nationwide, 1,259 schools are on the red stage and another 5,600 operate on a hybrid system.
