We are not aware that students at primary school may have caught the virus from their mothers during pregnancy or childbirth. Most of the work being done is by non-government organizations, mostly foundations which visit schools and set up talks with students and sometimes teachers. However, prevention is not a one-off deal. This is not for the biology or health education teacher alone, and it is not something you instill in a thirty-minute talk. Reality check Ximena Artigue, a biology teacher consulted by the Herald, described her experience working in state schools in the province of Buenos Aires and religious schools in the city.
Schools lack serious programmes to inform teachers, administrative staff or students.
There are workshops or some initiatives, but they are usually organized by private organizations of foundations. In my opinion, it is mostly forms of contagion. There is a very present danger for schools, students are in danger of catching or spreading the disease. Some students in rough schools use broken bottles or pieces of glass, or cutters, pins, even razor blades. Nobody is watching, and all of these things happen every day in real schools, with real students.
