From Monday 1/11 the "school card" for public schools through edupass.gov.gr. Finally for self-testing.gov.gr, how students will do the self test.
From Monday 1 November 2021 The edupass.gov.gr platform is launched for public schools, which is an additional tool for the health shield of the living operation of public educational structures.
Thanks to edupass.gov.gr, o The principal of the school will be able to confirm at any time that there are only persons inside the school (students, teachers / members of EEP-EBP, visitors), which meet the conditions of physical presence in the living educational process.
The platform currently concerns only the primary school units, secondary education and special education. The platform integrates all the functions of self-testing.gov.gr and the process of issuing the School Card for COVID-19.
The parents / guardians of the students / three who study in private schools will continue to declare the result of the self-tests on the platform self-testing.gov.gr and issue the school card for COVID-19, following exactly the same process they follow to this day.
It is pointed out that the self-test to be declared on 28-29/10/2021 by parents / guardians of students attending public schools will be declared - for the last time- on the self-testing.gov.gr platform.
Obliged to submit to the edupass.gov.gr platform a statement of participation with physical presence in the lifelong educational process in public schools are:
(a) the students,
(b) the teaching staff and members of the Special Teaching Staff (E.P.) and Special Support Staff (ΕΒΠ),
(c) any other natural person, who participates with physical presence in any kind of educational process that takes place within the premises of the public educational structure ("visitors"), such as students doing internships in the school unit.
The obligors or the parents / guardians of the obligors enter the platform and declare their intention to be physically present at the school premises., requesting that their status be sent to their school locker.
A) In case the obligors have been vaccinated or who have become ill within the last six months, this statement must be made only once and
B) in case they are required to undergo a diagnostic (rapid/PCR) or self-diagnostic test (self test), the declaration must be made as many times as required by the applicable framework, e.g. for students who have not been vaccinated / ill in the last semester, the corresponding statement to edupass.gov.gr must be submitted twice a week.
It is reminded that edupass.gov.gr in the first phase was activated a few weeks ago for the Higher Education Institutions (FOREVER) and its aim is to contribute to the protection of public health, but also in the simplification of control procedures for the observance of the health protocols.
The new platform is a result of the cooperation of the Ministries of Education and Religions and Digital Governance and is accessible from gov.gr. Implemented by the National Network of Technology and Research Infrastructures (EDYTE SA - GRNET), supervised body of the Ministry of Digital Governance, while the data collection is carried out by the Interoperability Center of the General Secretariat of Information Systems of Public Administration and IDIKA.
Students must take the self test every time
- the self-test will take place up to 24 hours before school every Tuesday and Friday,
- the screening for the new coronavirus through self-diagnostic test (self test) is mandatory for students,
- Students who do not have a vaccination certificate must bring a negative self-test certificate (for the students 12 years and older) nor a certificate of past illness (last semester),
- Vaccinated students are not entitled to a free self test, as they do not have to carry them out unless a special reason arises (i.e.. case to a classmate),
- the free self test is available from pharmacies only during working days and hours, so that during the overnight stays and overnight they can serve emergencies.
