Within the security measures that occur on the return to schools, this year is expected to be different. We talk about a return to school this year that will be different because we have the presence of Covid-19 on top of us, and the protocols for safety and hygiene measures are still up in the air.
There are many groups that are still focused on this type of measure and many schools They are already informing parents of the protocol changes, but still without knowing what might happen and without informing them in a concrete way. The Ministry of Education already contemplates and warns that the instructions for the return to the cabbages are tailor-made, but there are many organizations that disagree that the appropriate means to keep staff safe from Covid-19 are still not considered.
The directors of the centers and the families of the students still do not receive a response or any plan from the councils of their communities, although others do. It is because of that many centers are already developing their own protocols waiting to see what needs to be added or what is not essential. Everything will depend on whether a second wave of coronavirus can be on the way, which will impose certain types of rules on security measures in infections.
Type of initiatives that are proposed for going back to school this year
There are many communities that are already reinforcing the return to school with new initiatives. The Valencian Community has already hired a circulation of more than 4.000 new teachers in its staff and the purchase of new material such as tablets. Castilla la Mancha proposes the incorporation of more than 3.000 teachers for this new course and Catalonia has already approved a budget of more than 45 million destined to material for basic needs in families with inequality.
For this measurement plan The issue of creating bubble classes with a capacity of around 20 students for each class has been raised, to keep the safety distance of 2 meters. For this, the fact of reducing the classes would mean sending the remaining children to another group and as a consequence creating more classes, where many centers will not have that extra space.
And it is no longer the increase of spaces but the improvement of infrastructures, more teachers or even more cleaning staff for strict hygiene and safety measures. With this, it will be necessary to have the request for new material in the classrooms and a new plan in increase in digitization.
What will happen to the new spaces?
Practically all the spaces available in each center will be used. The possibility of creating prefabricated classrooms for centers that have limited space is being considered, but before executing this initiative, this problem will be able to be solved using public spaces from other administrations.
Recesses will be kept in the same courtyards and public spaces as always. Each center will use all or part of the patio as a purpose for teaching outdoors and always under strict measures in compliance with prevention and hygiene measures.
How is the adaptation of 3-year-old students managed?
His management will remain as always. Groups and schedules will have to be organized depending on the rules of each center. Groups of 5 children will continue to be organized and their adaptation will have to be flexible and always giving the best possible response under the limitations of that moment.
Extracurricular classes
The centers that lead to offer their spaces for extracurricular classes will be able to guarantee that these classes are taught, but always in relation to security measures at a distance and taking security measures.
