The Minister of Education and Youth of the Community of Madrid, Enrique Ossorio, assured on Tuesday that the announcement by the Minister of Education and Vocational Training, Isabel Celaá, about the possibility that next year the classes will have half of students and face-to-face teaching is combined with telematics “it is impossible to put into practice”.
“The first thing to say is that we have heard about it from the press,” Ossorio said in statements sent to the media, while alluding to the fact that in his statements the minister “talks about what he is commenting on with the communities autonomous ”, to ensure that“ that is not true ”.
“We have not had any communication, we have found out exclusively through the media,” asserted Ossorio, who stressed that “it would be good” for “things that are the responsibility of the autonomous communities”, as in this case, since He hopes that in September “the government will not follow its orders and command, setting out what to do,” they will speak to them.
As for the substance of the matter, he considered that “it is an absolutely poorly thought-out proposal”, and pointed out that “it is possible that it is a probe balloon because it is absolutely impossible to pose it in this way”.
In his opinion, with regard to “high school students, those in the final years of ESO, there may be an option that distance learning pays off and is in fact doing so, but for Infant students and for Primary students it is absolutely crazy, because those students need face-to-face contact with their teachers, they are stages in which the fundamental teachings are learned and interaction with the teacher is absolutely necessary ”. “It is impossible, those students would lose the habit of study if it were put that way,” he added.
“We are now studying how to implement face-to-face education in these phases of the transition plan. From the experiences obtained there we can ask what the start of the course will be like. We have to think about hygiene measures, distance measures, measures that a certain number of students do not coincide in the courtyards, the entrances, the exits, those are the measures that must be adopted and not that measure that the minister who is not well thought out, it is impossible to put into practice ”, said the Madrid counselor.
