  • Education: the end of the school year in Madrid: marks the third evaluation, but cannot be suspended for it
  • Covid-19: The de-escalation in Spain: what can be done and when

The Community of Madrid considers that the central government's de-escalation plan in educational matters "does not guarantee its fulfillment due to the insecurity generated by the absence of an epidemiological study to determine the real incidence of coronavirus in the child population." Specifically, the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso does not share the criterion that minors up to six years of age can return to class from May 25 in the event that their parents do not have the option of family reconciliation.

For the Minister of Education, Enrique Ossorio, said measure confirms that Pedro Sánchez teaching "does not care about anything" and that "he uses the centers as a place to place children in case the parents have to go to work." Such a situation, he says, will cause "there are nursery schools and schools with a very high concentration of students and others with much less."

In any case, in the regional Executive they specify that they are waiting for the ministerial order that establishes how the "exceptional" and partial return to the classrooms should be organized, since in general the classroom classes will not resume until September . According to the roadmap designed in La Moncloa, the activity will only be resumed before for "reinforcements" that have not yet materialized at the moment.

The Community of Madrid criticizes "the lack of dialogue, improvisation and the lack of planning" on the part of the central government and that it has "marked the way without speaking previously" with the regions, which it considers "a full command and command " Ossorio censures that other activities are allowed "but educational activities are relegated, which fits with the general approval through the back door defended by Minister Isabel Celaá".

"These measures represent a false closure of the course , which has not taken into account the pedagogical component of educational centers and its psychological impact as a benchmark in child development," summarizes the Madrid counselor. In addition, he accuses of "dividing the opportunities" of the students "depending on the needs of the parents' work-life balance".

Staggered turn

The Community proposed a staggered return to the face-to-face classes from May 18 for those enrolled in the courses with which they obtain degrees: 4th of ESO, the equivalents of FP and 2nd of Baccalaureate, whose students present to the EBAU . "In this way, they could have had between 20 and 30 days of very useful preparation classes to face these exams," they defend in Education.

Contrary to the criteria of the central government, Madrid has decided that the third quarter has "academic value" although it will be evaluated "taking into account the difficulties that each student may have had" to follow classes online after the classrooms close last March 11 before the expansion of the coronavirus. In any case, "it will not be able to suppose by itself the failure to pass a subject" .
