The classrooms will be permanently ventilated, the toys cannot be shared between groups and we will try to make them made of non-porous materials so that they are easier to disinfect.

In addition, both at the entrance and before any change of activity, the boys and girls will wash their hands and the changing tables will be disinfected after each use ”.From FAMPA they understand the educational community as three great pillars; parents, students and public administration including teachers.

For this reason, her secretary Marina García, thanked the Department of Education "for the work done in the development of the contingency plan that has been worked on since the beginning of summer." That it is already done, and it has not been carriedEach of the centers will be divided into what has been called stable coexistence groups, so that children and teachers interact exclusively with the members of their group.

Each of these groups will enter and leave the center in a staggered fashion.

Children may only arrive at schools accompanied by a parent, who will not be able to access either the classrooms or the center.The use of the patio has also been separated by groups of stable coexistence and only the students of 1 group will be able to use the patio at a time.
