REUTERS/Juan MedinaMADRID: With coronavirus cases surging and less than two weeks of the school holidays left, parents, teachers and opposition politicians in Spain are angry and critical about the government's plans for reopening classrooms.
"We cannot let a whole generation of children have their education held back because of a lack of planning," he said. In Madrid, where more than 1,500 new cases were reported on Wednesday, regional authorities did not rule out delaying face-to-face classes, putting a strain on working families."We have to be a bit careful about the date of reopening the schools," deputy health chief Antonio Zapatero told Reuters."Perhaps, due to the level of positives, we will have to rethink about if we open by ages.
Frustrated with what they described as a lack of resources and a failure to deploy adequate safety measures, teachers unions in the capital have called a series of strikes for the first weeks of September.
