Private schools in La Laguna de Durango, request the restart of classes in a hybrid way for next April 26, because they assure that comply with health protocols required by educational and health authorities.
Of 34 private schools that exist in La Laguna, 18 are the institutions that request the early resumption of activities in the classrooms, through blended and online classes.
Iván Rodríguez Carmona, coordinator of the ‘Abre Mi Escuela’ Movement in Durango, noted that Currently the schools that present the application have the necessary infrastructure to comply with the sanitary measures focused on reducing the risk of contagion SARS-CoV-2 responsible for the disease covid-19.
He added that the implementation of the protocols begins first from home, once parents who want their children to go to class, guarantee that they are not sick.
Subsequently to the interior of the schools, where they must have filters from the access, in addition to other sanitizing methods such as sanitizing mats, antibacterial gel applicators, temperature measurement tools.
“Both at the entrance of the school, and at the entrance of the classrooms”, He emphasized.
What’s more, as soon as they approve the resumption of activities in private institutions, they will start with small groups, using a tiered system, which consists of the attendance of a certain number of students, “Some, one days to classes, other days others, here the important thing is that we seek that the students return and rejoin little by little to their work”He expressed.
For the members of the movement at the national level, the return to classes is very important, as he pointed out that in Mexico, it is more than 190 days without going to school, when the global average was 95 days of closed schools.
In this sense, Rodríguez Carmona stated that there is concern about the setback that has been generated in Mexico in that school year, because according to projections of UNICEF and the Inter-American Development Bank it will take up to five years to recover the academic backwardness.
But also, Confinement has generated other types of problems, such as the increase in abuse of minors, including sexual abuse, coupled with the increase in cases of depression and anxiety.
Fifteen days ago the members of the National Association of Private Schools chaired by Rodolfo Silva Rosales attended a meeting where the Undersecretary of Education in the Lagunera Region of Durango, Cuitláhuac Valdés Gutiérrez, was present, on this occasion they raised the possibility of a restart of classes, under the commitment to comply with the requirements established by the educational authorities.
“We asked that they could give us some time, they were able to set a date also obviously because we need time to prepare, we knew that it was difficult for us to return on the 12th, (April) we proposed that it could be the 19 or 26 the return to classes, “he said.
For the moment private institutions trust the educational authorities of Durango to authorize the restart of classes in a hybrid system next April 26.
“I insist, in a particular way in each of the schools that decide to do it and are in the possibility of complying with the requirements. We cannot force all private schools to do so, just as we cannot force parents to send their students ”.
At the end of the coordinator of the “Open my School” movement in Durango, he is waiting to be summoned to a meeting by the Undersecretary of Education, where the decision on the request of private schools will be determined.
