Schools also open in the red zone, the hypotheses in the field after Easter

by admin

Bring the youngest pupils back to class immediately after Easter also in the red zone. It is a hypothesis, shared by various political forces, to which the government seems to be looking with increasing attention. It was the Minister of the Family, Elena Bonetti, who clearly stated that after Easter even in the red areas, “thanks to the increase in vaccinations”, it was necessary to “re-evaluate the possibility of reopening the kindergarten and at least the primary school “.

Dad until now compulsory for all schools in the red zone

The latest Dpcm, expiring on April 6, provides for distance lessons for schools of all levels in the red zone. A band in which half of the Italian regions are now found. Unlike what was established until March 5, when, in the red zone, pupils in classes up to sixth grade were allowed to attend school in presence. The decision to extend the anti-Covid restrictive measures to all schools, from kindergartens to high schools, was motivated by the spread of variations even among children and by the multiplication of quarantined classes.

The inconveniences of distance learning

The alarm did not clear. But Dad’s discomforts are varied: from connection deficiencies to learning delays. And street protests and awareness of the burden that families are supporting are growing. Even if the decree law passed by the Government on 12 March last, to help families in the face of the new school squeeze due to the has launched a trio of aid on the front of smart working, leave and the babysitter bonus, remains the widespread need to rethink the closures of at least the schools of the little ones. And the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi has assured on all occasions that “we will be back in attendance” as soon as conditions permit.

The rules for schools in the orange zone

In the orange regions, according to the current provisions, in force until April 6, schools can remain open. In high school, at least 50 percent of students are guaranteed to be present in the institute. All the other pupils, from kindergarten to eighth grade, regularly go to class (with a mask from 6 years upwards). But there is a wide margin of discretion. The governors can in fact opt ​​for the closure of schools in all regional or provincial areas in which the cumulative weekly incidence of infections exceeds 250 cases per 100,000 inhabitants or in the event of a justified and exceptional situation of worsening of the epidemiological picture. The latter rules that we will need to see if they will be confirmed or eliminated in the next Dpcm.

The Lazio case

Among the regions currently in the red only Lazio, with Rt and infections in decline, can aspire to the transition to orange starting from 29 March. And thus reopen schools even before Easter, even if for a few days. But in the region, at least high schools should still be closed until Easter. “Returning to class only for three days before the Easter break – explains the president of Assopresidi Mario Rusconi – would be risky”
