According to Ms. Kerameos, the decision to reopen primary schools, kindergartens and nurseries was based on the following factors:
- On the unanimous proposal of the experts of the Ministry of Health. The suggestion is related to the downward course of the epidemic, to the fact that children get and transmit less, to the fact that our weather is improving with higher temperatures on the rise.
- The overall de-escalation has started smoothly. Examples are the measures in The Senior High and High schools.
- We must ensure the return of students to their physical space. Long-term absence makes their psychosocial development difficult. There can be no normalcy without open schools
- Children are safer in schools where they follow rules as opposed to what happens outside
- Open schools reduce social inequalities and empower children from more vulnerable social environments
- For special schools, the students who study there have a special need to be in this environment for their learning development and their psychological development.
