Madrid, May 13 (EFE).- Spanish Minister of Education Isabel Celaá said Thursday that the advantage of students of all ages returning to classrooms far outweigh the risks.
She is due to discuss the issue at a meeting with the health ministry and regional governments next week.
Celaa made the remarks during a discussion on the “Opportunities for education cooperation in Latin America,” which was attended by the secretary-general of the Organization of Ibero-American States, Mariano Jabonero and the President of EFE, Gabriela Cañas.
