Υπ. Education: SYRIZA invested politically in closed schools and failed

“SYRIZA invested politically in closed schools and failed”, the Ministry of Education underlines in a statement, noting at the same time that “unfortunately, SYRIZA, instead of contributing to the great effort of the smooth operation of education, insists on populism and denial of everything. even of reality “.

“Our children have returned safely to their natural place, the school, where they acquire valuable knowledge and skills and develop socially and emotionally. In addition, the school catalyzes the reduction of the pandemic in the school community and society at large,” he said. The Ministry of Education adds: “Now, SYRIZA does not want to accept the figures and is annoyed by the fact that in the first week of operation of the schools the cases of students have decreased significantly compared to the holiday period.

As for the memorable comparison of SYRIZA between the percentages of cases in children on the total number of cases during the holidays and during the first week of operation of the schools, obviously this also has no basis. Quite simply because during the holiday week there was no mandatory self-test, much fewer tests were performed on children, while in the first 8 days of operation of the schools about 5.6 million tests were performed on children!

The Ministry of Education monitors the progress of epidemiological data on a daily basis, collaborates with expert scientists and thanks teachers, students, parents, education officials and local government for the exemplary observance of health protocols, which shield the school community.

“Unfortunately, SYRIZA, instead of contributing to the great effort of the smooth operation of education, insists on populism and the denial of everything, even reality.”
