“The school calendar must be extended so as not to deprive students of continuing their academic training”

Franc Corbí

The vice president of the Spanish Association of Autonomous Centers of Private Education (ACADE) Franc Corbí, has indicated in the “El Intercafé” program that “Educational legislators should extend school calendars in the face of the coronavirus crisis, since this situation of uncertainty deprives students of being able to continue with their academic training.”

And it is that comparing the different educational systems, Corbí has ​​indicated that “although there is a uniform calendar with all educational systems, private education has the ability to offer extra solutions, so we consider the extension of the school calendar necessary”

In this regard and asked in “The Intercafé” of Intereconomy Valencia about the possible early termination of the 2019-2020 course due to the Covid19 crisis, the vice president of Acade has indicated that “Not only will the student not benefit from this hypothetical situation, but they may have a double problem.”

And this is due – Corbi points out – that we can find students very dedicated to leisure if schools are closed, which becomes a very important problem for families whose members continue to work in companies that remain active during the health crisis. ”

Also, the vice president of Acade has referred to the different ways of continuing to provide continuous training such as telematics, which he considers that “If it is exercised properly, it does not have to be considered a loss of level of learning, since it can be developed if the media, students and teachers adapt to the needs.”

Finally, and alluding to the possibilities that the next course will offer, Franc Corbí has ​​highlighted that “We will have to pay close attention to the different situations of each student after such a complex period, since teaching should not be so linear but a little more adapted to each person. And more in circumstances as exceptional as those we live in. ”

It’s time to get started on learning again…today is the first day of throwing ourselves back into learning together.
