• Covid-19 The Board rectifies and the two sisters from the Cáceres school will not be able to enter without a mask

  • Covid-19 Denialist parents refuse that their two daughters go to school with masks and a separate class is enabled for them

The two sisters from the 3rd and 5th grade of Cáceres Primary who attended the first days of classes without a mask have not shown up today at their educational center, the

Alba Plata

bilingual public school

, after the Board rectified yesterday and prohibited them from accessing if they did not comply with health regulations. However, the decision of the Ministry of Education to offer them as an alternative - if their denialist parents remained inflexible in their position that they do not wear masks - classes from home in a telematic way will not be able to be fulfilled, at least for the moment, because

the school does not currently have internet service

. The problem lies in the comprehensive reform works that have been carried out in the center since March 2019 and that were delayed by the pandemic. Since then, the center has been without an internet connection, including the period of confinement.

In addition,

the Junta de Extremadura has sent information on this case to the Prosecutor's Office

. Said government file has reached the Superior Prosecutor's Office of Extremadura but, as this is not the competent body to undertake the investigation of the case, it will be

sent to the Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Cáceres

, as confirmed this Thursday by the provincial chief prosecutor, Marta. Abellán. The prosecutor herself has indicated that she does not know the terms of the complaint because it has not yet been received in the Provincial Prosecutor's Office and has indicated that it will be necessary to study "all" the circumstances because she knows the details of it only through the media.

However, he has advanced that the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office "will ensure the rights and interest of the two minors" and has added that

the right to education is a "fundamental" one.

"If you cut off the right to education, you are depriving that person of his future life, of his actions, of his option to train, to develop, etc.", he stressed, according to Europa Press.

When asked how to proceed in the event that the family maintains its decision not to take the two girls to school, Forte recalled that

there is a protocol for school absenteeism

and "in several cases in which it is possible to to verify an intentionality or an intentional abandonment of the parental duties of the parents or guardians, has come to formulate a

complaint for abandonment of family "

.

"It is a crime that is included in the Penal Code," stressed the prosecutor for minors, adding that once all the proceedings are derived, the protection of the rights of minors must be ensured.

In this sense,

the Minister of Health had demanded yesterday afternoon from the Judicial Power its intervention

in the case: "If mediation does not succeed in any case of these characteristics where rights of great importance are opposed, the normal thing is that it is adopted a criterion and be submitted to that of Justice, "said the counselor.

In his opinion, any decision taken is "a challenge", especially when the right to education is contrasted with that of the protection of health and the right to life. "

General norm

After this controversy, the Junta de Extremadura has already ordered as a general rule that from this Thursday no student will be able to access any educational center if they do not use the mask without prior medical justification. This measure will be extended to all centers in the Autonomous Community and to all students from 6 years of age.

The idea of ​​the Board is that the girls receive educational training from their homes in relation to the delivery of work and taking exams. Both the AMPA and the Teachers' Cloister and the CSIF union agree with the change in the administration's criteria, but believe that

this decision should have been adopted earlier

, at the beginning of the course, so as not to interfere with the operation of the center, having It also takes into account that the parents had notified in writing the day before the start of the course their firm decision that the girls would not wear masks during the course.

As ELMUNDO.ES reported yesterday, both minors did not attend classes at this center last year due to the decision of their parents, of Polish origin, and left for their country due to the outbreak of the pandemic. The family is supported and advised by an association that defends the right not to wear masks.

Mercedes Barrado, president of the Education Sector of the CSIF-Extremadura union, is now wondering what measures the Ministry of Education is going to propose to

solve the impossibility of internet connection on the

part of the teachers of the Cacereño school.

"In Extremadura, unfortunately, teleworking is not regulated in the educational field despite the fact that the pandemic began a long time ago and teachers have had to work from home with their own means (computers, their own internet connection, etc. .) and on most occasions outside of school hours ".
