The spokesman and deputy of VOX in the General Meeting of the Principality, Ignacio Blanco, has regretted the lack of "anticipation" and "action" by the Ministry of Education in managing the effects of COVID-19. “The direction of the department in the face of the pandemic is very slow, it is disastrous, and the instructions to the families are rather scarce. I can't believe they are still waiting to send the definitive guidelines ”, Blanco complains. This has been transferred by the deputy to the councilor of the rank, Carmen Suárez, in the session of the Working Group of the General Board. Ignacio Blanco, in his speech, has insisted on the need to prepare a contingency plan to be forewarned in case of resuming classes in person, as well as the urgency of speeding up the procedures so that all Asturian students have an internet connection and electronic means and they can continue this way with their educational training that, remember, the deputy insists “it is a right of all children”.
“The counselor has not resolved many of our doubts. You have not answered our question of whether the students will return to the classroom or not. We do not know exactly when they will facilitate the connection to the internet and the means to students who do not have them so that they can continue their training; nor has it specified whether there is a specific plan for students who need special needs in this situation of confinement beyond ensuring that control is followed by tutors and schools, "regrets the spokesman. "From VOX we had demanded the appearances to exercise control of the Government before the management of the pandemic. However, day by day we find that the regional government does not answer our questions and sticks to its empty speech. Faced with our questions, today, the Minister of Education does not know or answer, "says Blanco.
In his appearance, Ignacio Blanco has also asked the counselor if he will decree the general approval due to the concern of families with school-age children, as well as by the means provided to allow the enrollment of 3-year-old students for the next course in the face of uncertainty. "Deciding a general pass would be a decision that would go against the students who have tried hardest and the teachers themselves," concludes the deputy.
