Over a million pupils start new school year
- 23 September, 21
Roughly 1.2 million children and teens will be filing back into the classroom, a purported 85% of 12-17 years olds now vaccinated against Covid-19.
But this doesn’t seem to have changed a thing: the measures of the last two pandemic years remain in place – mask-wearing at all times (even outside during break-time) for the over-10s; physical distancing (as much as possible); floor markings within school buildings (ensuring children ‘stay in line’ and ‘go in the same direction’).
In the case of younger children, parents are still barred from accompanying them into school: they have to leave them at the gates.
Testing for pupils, teachers and non-teaching staff
All pupils in the 3º ‘Ciclo’ (7th to 9th Year) and Secondary education (10th to 12th Year) will be tested on their return to school, irrespective of whether or not they have been vaccinated – as will teachers and non-teaching staff.
