A new episode is expected to be written today in the much-acclaimed serial that emerged about special education students and their exclusion from the school environment until recently. Yesterday's announcement by the Ministry of Education allegedly added more fuel to the fire for the parents of these children, with reactions and voices of protest intensifying more and more.
At 14:00 at noon, the parents of the children will come to the doorstep of the Ministry of Education to protest again for the exclusion, as they claim, of their children from the educational process. A rally which is expected to be clearly more intense and massive than the last one on the 22nd of the month.
Our website contacted the Representative of the Parents' Initiative Group for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Ms. Gioula Pitsiali, who noted that "we will go there to express our dissatisfaction with the Ministry, so that people can hear why these things They are not right. This treatment is not current ".
The reason that, according to Ms. Pitsiali, the whole issue is huge, has to do exclusively with the issue of human rights, focusing in fact on the positions of the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of the Child. The request for Ms. Pitsiali is to give these children the opportunity to return to their schools, on an equal footing with all other children.
The controversial announcement
Yesterday's announcement of the Ministry of Education on the issue of Special Education and the return of children to school, is said to have caused more "fires" than to extinguish the existing ones.
And the reason why this happened, according to Ms. Pitsiali, is that the decisions and the method that the Ministry invokes, lack documentation as to what criteria will "evaluate" the children to be able or not to return to school. He even considers the announcement as a targeted effort of the Ministry to avoid its own responsibilities.
Even the special committee that has been set up, according to Ms. Pitsiali, is essentially meaningless since, in essence, what is taking place is another attempt to differentiate these children from the rest of the students. "They make them feel unwanted," he noted meaningfully.
It is reminded that according to the circular of the Ministry, "the students of the Special Schools that will be approved by the Special Committee, observing the health precautions, will be able to attend the Special Schools, if and if it is decided to reopen".
