The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has assured that, if the authorizations foreseen by the European Medicines Agency are met, they could begin the vaccination of students of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) and Baccalaureate "two weeks before the start of the academic year."

"Without a doubt, a decisive step for the long-awaited recovery of academic and social normality will be the vaccination of our students," Sánchez said this Saturday at an event in La Moncloa in tribute to the educational community.

In this context, he has made a formal invitation not only to recover the normality that existed before the pandemic, to not conform "to returning to the starting point": "The educational community has shown that academic and educational excellence is an objective within the reach of Spain."

For the President of the Executive, in Spain "there is joy of living", something that, in his words, "is noticeable in the whole of compatriots."

"We are off to a good start in vaccination, we are record after record in the doses we are administering throughout the days, we are recovering employment. Thanks to the educational community it has also been possible," he celebrated.

In the same vein, he insisted that Spain "is launched" and has "put the direct" towards a recovery that, in his opinion, "has to be fair and much more lasting."
