To ensure that it has identified around 172 schools with “potential to improve” in the first phase of regression in pre-school classes, the secretary designated by the Department of Education, Elba Aponte Santos, points out that the agency guarantees the effectiveness of health protocols at the moment the country has not experienced a substantial reduction in Covid-19 positivity rates.
According to Santos, this is an expression of the expressions that Noelia García, secretary of the Gobernacion, hiccups most strongly, in the sense that the school repertoire is not “written in stone”, but it is acknowledged that March 3 will be an alternative .
“Powder on March 3, to order an example. Tenemos que movernos a esa líne que nos hemos trazado, a principios de marzo. If we find out more about it, we should try to find out if we have any problems. We are here, and we hope that nothing will happen, but if anything else we tend to make adjustments, ”Aponte Santos said at a press conference to participate in the executive meeting of the executive cabinet.
To comply with the list of schools that will be available in March, Aponte Santos indicates that a list of features will be established with the features that must be completed.
“We have ‘checklists’, one for infrastructure and conditioning, which are what are marketed if the baths are adequate, if there are limp materials, if there is a Covid protocol, if there is no infrastructure infrastructure in the salons […] In terms of the Covid Protocol, following the guidelines of the CDC (Center for Control and Prevention of Injuries), if they have thermometers, nurses, clothing materials, concierges, mascaras available to try, if they have gloves. What dominates the raster program ”, enumerated the designated secretariat.
The education system within the school system will be led by epidemiologists Encijar Hassan, Fabiola Cruz and the demographer Wilmarí de Jesús.
If the Department of Education does not, at the moment, disclose the list of schools that are considered to be open, Aponte Santos expresses its disapproval of the plants that finally open their salons as a “representative model” of Puerto Rican geographic reality .
The Department of Education aspires to improve “at least one by municipality, but can vary. In Culebra we have a school, we are vacant and if the school is prepared, we will start. Quizas en Las Marías el riesgo o los númersos Covid están más bajitos (así que) vamos a movernos ahí. There are various aspects that we take into consideration for this determination, based on the recommendation that we have from the (Department of Health), ”said the official.
The agency has 856 plants, of the springs, has a few weeks, 53 eran cataloged as no appetites and 253 partially appetizing for its infrastructure conditions.
According to Santos recalcó that does not oblige parents, mothers or tutors to send to their homes to the schools, but indicates that, in the case of the masters, has the responsibility, by collective agreement, to ensure that the plants are planted. by the agency.
On February 5, the Secretariat will hold a meeting to invite all of the Department of Education staff.
The recommendation:
“In the conversation we are having with the bodies we are having a dialogue about the faeces in which we are calling for some employees, which is a working condition”, urges.
At the press conference, Salud’s secretary, Carlos Mellado, stated that “in two weeks” plans and protocols will be published that will follow the plants that will be reopened in March.
“There are some schools that are prepared, as many as private. We are ours, evaluating the protocols, ”said Mellado.
Ante critics of organizations, such as the Association of Masters, that he claimed that the governor focused the mira on a repertoire for the semester that began in August, Mellado alluded to the opinions of experts such as the federal epidemiologist Anthony Fauci, Colegiru de Méc Puerto Rico and the American Association of Pediatrics, which has been alerted to the deaths suffered by children who did not have the opportunity to receive a pre-school education for an extended period.
In this sense, the Secretary-General insisted that the schools play a fundamental role for the children in the nutritional and psychological aspects.
Excluding the school staff of the administrative order who, at least once a week, are only administering the vacancy of Covid-19 to the mayor of 65 years, Mellado and Aponte Santos will ensure that this phase is completed by March 18. At present, of the 55,000 employed teachers and no public and private school teachers, 16,100 have received less than the first dose of the vaccine.
Of the 48,000 weekly doses received over the week, Mellado indicated that he had 12,000 reserved for this population.
