They protest the use of the mask in the school patio in numerous schools

This Monday's call has left many photos (see below): Students, family members and educators have focused on the doors of several schools in Hego Euskal Herria to report that elementary school children are obliged to wear a mask in the exterior spaces of the school environment and in the school hours of physical education. The Umeak Ere Bai platform has called for "all elementary school children to recognize the rights granted to the rest of the people".

Many actors in the educational community have spoken in the past few days in the same vein: they see it absurd that children aged 6-12 have to wear a mask in the outer spaces of the school, when we do not have to do it themselves (or the rest) outdoors. In the same vein last week the Federation of Ikastolas spoke: "The fact that there is only one group that has not been vaccinated does not justify the maintenance of this measure if in the other areas the use of the mask is not mandatory."

Many parents have sent the same petition to the Basque Government’s Education Advisor, Jokin Bildarratz, considering that the kiss in the patio is disproportionate and discriminatory. In total, 7,000 support firms have been gathered to call for the measure to be made more flexible.

Elizondo, Oñati, Irun, Vitoria, Busturia…

The Umeak Bai platform has also received photos from many parts of the city as a sign of the impact that the call has had. Concentrations have been carried out in at least the following villages and educational centres, according to the information provided by the platform: San Martín de Agirre, Elatzeta eskola, Uzturpe ikastola, Gasteiz (Aita Orbiso ikastetxea), Lizartza, Ataun (Joxe Miel Barandiaran eskola), Hernani (Langile), Tolosa (Laskorta orain), Natxea
