Downer after the summer holidays: several classes are back in quarantine after one school day | Inland

“It is very annoying,” admits director Melchior Hendriks of OBS Lorentz School in Hilversum. Because a class from his school is collectively back at home after a day of education. A student turned out to have corona among the members.

“He was in class on Monday with no complaints. During dinner he developed a fever, after which his parents had him do a self-test,” says the director. The result turned out to be positive, after which the parents informed the school and the class received the news that they have to get behind the laptop or computer again this week for education. “Education continues digitally. We prepared for that during the holiday and of course we already had experience with it.”

Soot in the food

The class from Hilversum is not the only one sitting at home again. Two classes of the Haarlem Montesori School also had to go home after the first day of school after positive cases. The school could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Corona would also have thrown a spanner in the works at other schools, while only the schools in the North region have started again.

At the same time, it seems to be about incidents. Education union AOb has not had any reports of reports, a spokesperson said. Rather, there are remarkably many concerns about ventilation. The Ministry of Education and the Education Inspectorate have no idea of ​​the number of classes sent home. That may become clear later.
