- The same number of students as last year (23 young people), in the classroom last year, without being able to guarantee a minimum distance. The situation in which her daughter lives begins the fight of Ainara Aranberri: in addition to asking for resources from the administration, she also asks for solutions in the center, and after talking unsuccessfully with the professor, head of studies, director and inspector, a group of parents of Deba has joined the fight. The use of external spaces, the discovery of ratios reduction formulas such as in the Oyón school, the formation of stable groups and the removal of the mask in outdoor activities are some of the factors that demand. The collection of signatures is already underway.
According to his mother, Ainara Aranberri, opened his eyes to the report of Oion’s school: he called, spoke to the head of studies and saw that “things can be done differently.” She told that at her daughter’s school, but “it’s impossible to find the answer over and over again.”
“If the distance is not guaranteed, wear the mask at all times and ready”
He tells us that he also held a surreal interview with the vision: “I asked him if it is legal to work in a classroom where the distance of one and a half meters between the students is not guaranteed; he told me yes, that it is legal, that they are not obliged to lower the ratios and that if the distance is not guaranteed, they have to wear the mask always on. So, I added, when the distance of one and a half meters is guaranteed, don't you have to wear the mask? Also in this case, he told me they need a mask.”
Faced with the need for a new school operation during the pandemic, Aranberri and other parents have come together and started a collection of signatures, with concrete petitions to the Luzaro and Mendata centers of Deba. They want stable coexistence groups at all levels; they demand the use of outdoor spaces in all cycles; they demand the removal of the mask in outdoor activities, guaranteeing safety; they favor an intensive day (always maintaining the dining room service and the same hours of entrance and exit from the center, in order to conciliation); and they demand the reduction of the classroom ratios: “We want ratios for up to 15 students.”
Thanks to the pressure exerted, Aranberri has told us that these centers show movements, that some professors have expressed their intention to go outside, but the letter contains more measures. Therefore, the group of parents says that they continue to collect signatures and that the centers need more signatures to change their course.
