Irremediably September will arrive and the return to school is necessary. At least this is what the professionals propose, yes or yes in some way children need some kind of attention in the classroom. Now, with the coronavirus still going on, and without knowing very well how it affects children, What will that return to school be like? The easy answer is according to the communities, but the Central Government is working on a protocol that it has made public.
We want to tell you what you should know about going back to school in these special circumstances, beyond informing you about other specific measures that are taken in your autonomous community.
Protocol proposed by the Government for going back to school
Some of the things that will surprise us this September will be the hydroalcohol, and other gels on the doors of schools, the permissibility of eat inside classrooms or Covid-19 equipment that should be in every school. At least these are some of the measures that will be implemented, or will be dealt with, within the action protocol, but let's continue with others.
The Covid-19 equipment, which must work in every nursery and high school, It will be made up of the management, the secretary, one or more members of the teaching team, a member of the cleaning service and representation of families and students. In addition, the boys and girls will receive classes with tips to prevent contagion of the coronavirus. These classes will be as a reminder every morning, in tutorials or in a transversal way with other subjects.
These measures have already mystified teachers and parents of the Community of Madrid and Catalonia, which see intrusiveness in the Government governing the return to school. The basic idea is to create stable coexistence groups of 20 boys and girls, and that these do not interact with the other coexistence groups.
Masks yes or no back to school?
Until today, the protocol allows children under 10 years old and their teachers go without a mask inside the classroom. And we say so far, because this measure can change. The mask must be hygienic and, whenever possible, reusable. What will not be allowed under any circumstances are assemblies or meetings within the school.
The obligation to wear a mask seems to relax, according to this text. The ratios, the number of male and female students will be as maximum of 20 children. They are the so-called stable coexistence groups. They can act with each other, but it is not recommended with other children at school. The safety distance goes from 2 meters, initially planned to one and a half meters for those over 10 years old and none for children.
In the case of the Early Childhood Education from 0 to 3 years old and in Special Education, workers will not have to wear a mask. The recommendation that is made is that they wear their hair up and avoid rings, bracelets and pendants. In addition to washing your clothes daily at high temperatures, and use toys that can be disinfected easily.
More changes for this September with coronavirus
One of the biggest changes is proposed in the dining room service. Now, in September you can use the classrooms to eat. The food will be served in them with trolleys with trays, so that the groups of stable coexistence do not fall apart. For children under 10 years of age, the dining room space and schedules will be organized so that they have their turn and their own space. Those over 10 years old, will have to keep the distance of one and a half meters also in the dining room.
But this will not be the only thing that changes because they propose create classrooms with partitions, for children who are not within this ratio of classrooms. It is proposed to enable patios, or resort to nearby parks, cultural centers, sports centers and toy libraries in the municipality.
The Sports events or the celebrations that take place inside the center, and with the public you have to respect the distance and the capacity.
