And the Minister of Health announced, on Tuesday, new restrictions. They are concerned, among other things, compulsory vaccinations for teachers, as well as distance learning, which will be in effect from December 20 to January 9.
– When it comes to remote work, we can clearly see a growing problem in many schools and institutions in different regions of the country. It looks different, but Unfortunately, the trend is negative – More and more departments, more and more employees and more and more children in quarantine or isolation. This is a good step in my opinion – said Sławomir Wittkowicz of the Trade Union Forum.
– I hope that it will end on January 9, unless the Ministry repeats the process from last year and immediately announces the winter vacation on one date for everyone, which may cause problems when it comes to tourist traffic during the winter holidays – he added.
In turn, the Minister of Education and Science, Przemyslav Kzarnik, confirmed in an interview with PAP that there is no issue of distance learning longer than the total of 7 days, that is, until January 9.
We are waiting for the dates to be clarified.
This was stated by the President of the Polish Teachers’ Union, Swowmir Pruniers He is awaiting a draft regulation and its justification, including clarification of dates on December 20 and March 1.
– I do not understand this movement, either there is a pandemic and we present it from tomorrow, or Minister Arraf, and based on some mathematical simulations, it is believed that the peak of infection will be on December 20. If the summit is to be held on December 20, you have to protect yourself today Bronnies said.
He added that he also did not understand the timetable for introducing compulsory vaccinations from March 1. On Tuesday, the Minister of Health announced that from March 1, vaccinations will be mandatory for selected groups of employees. They are teachers, paramedics and services in uniform.
Mandatory vaccinations for teachers
Head of the Department of Civic Education and Pedagogy of the NSZZ “Solidarność” Ryszard Proksa told PAP that Decisions in such matters are made by professionals, they do not fall within the competence of the trade unions. We believe that those professions that come into direct contact with people who may be infected should absolutely do so, even without a court order. Proksa said that it is a guarantee not only of health, but also of life.
In turn, according to Sławomir Wittkowicz of the Trade Union Forum, the introduction Compulsory vaccinations for certain groups of workers may violate civil rights and rights.
– I think that this compulsion alone will not cause a mass level of vaccination. He said I think that’s unattainable.
