The Ministry of Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity and Sports of the Government of the Canary Islands has established exceptional measures in response to the adverse weather situation expected in the archipelago, which also affects Fuerteventura. Although the island is not among the most affected on Thursday, March 19, it will be included in the general measure adopted for the entire Canary Islands, so on Friday, March 20, all teaching activities will take place online. This decision is adopted following the recommendation and preventive measures decreed by the Ministry of Territorial Policy, Territorial Cohesion and Water, through the General Directorate of Emergencies and Civil Protection with the aim of avoiding displacement and guaranteeing the safety of the educational community in the face of the confluence of adverse meteorological phenomena, including wind, rain and rough seas. The Ministry has indicated that classes will be taught online as long as technical conditions allow it. In those cases where it is not possible, the teaching activity will be suspended. In addition, instructions have been sent to educational centers to facilitate the continuity of teaching through digital tools, while it is recommended to adopt preventive measures in the facilities, especially in the event of possible effects of wind or rain. The authorities insist on the importance of following official instructions and staying informed through the channels of the Government of the Canary Islands, given the evolution of this meteorological episode that will affect different islands in the coming days.
