Has not guaranteed to the centers that all the teachers they request will be hired . The deadline to request this extra staff ends today, September If the Administration sends less, all the schedules will have to be redone, which is why there are centers that are risking doing them and others that are not. Groups In many centers, since the high ratio imposed by the Community of Madrid does not allow the splitting of all groups , the general rule is that another one is drawn from every two groups. This is causing many centers to have to form groups with students from two different levels, for example st and nd or th and th, with the difficulties that this implies for teachers at an organizational and programming level, since This is an unprecedented situation for Madrid teachers, excepting only those few who have provided their services in rural schools, which are very rare in our Community.

The centers have been asked to specify the spaces available in the center itself to locate the new groups. The reality is that in centers that do not have additional classrooms, common use spaces such as libraries, music classrooms, or gyms will be permanently occupied , which cannot be used for AOL Email List their purpose or taken advantage of by the rest of the students. But unsuitable spaces are also having to be set up because they are transit areas, such as lobbies, or due to their acoustic conditions, as is precisely the case in many gyms. In centers that have sufficient classrooms , the option of splitting all groups and complying with safer ratios (below in Primary, or - in Secondary) is not being allowed, since this, once more, it would entail the hiring of more teachers. We reiterate that as of today, the Community of Madrid does not consider this option. It is also worth referring to the suppression of groups.



Under normal conditions, if after the enrollment period in a center, one of its courses is left with two groups in half the ratio (for example - students in two third years of Primary), these groups are merged and one of the groups is closed. classrooms, resulting, continuing with the Primary example, a single group of - students for the following year. Well, despite the warnings from STEM and other union organizations, which we considered that in the face of an uncertain beginning of the year from an epidemiological point of view, it was advisable not to merge these groups, the Ministry made no exceptions and proceeded to merge them. , displaying a total lack of concern about what could come in September. Regarding municipal facilities , not all City Councils have offered a list of them (another consequence of our Councilor's long vacation), and these facilities are not always close to educational centers or are not sufficient.
