On the first day of the connection of the country’s Gymnasiums and Lyceums, there were arrhythmias, the system had to be coordinated, there was a pan-European problem, but for two weeks the lessons have been held in tens of thousands of virtual classes every day. The same thing happened on the first day of the connection of the primary schools, there were problems and there will continue to be some problems, but now the lessons are done ”, Ms. Kerameos stressed. 
For the absences of the students
Regarding the absences of the students, he said that they are not counted when there are technical problems, however on other days the lessons are compulsory for everyone and must be attended by the children.
The Minister of Education reiterated that the e-learning platform is not a project implemented in a contest, but that its use is a donation, so, as he said, although the opposition insisted on it in the previous days, no one has responded since the Ministry stated that anyone can view the relevant documents.
