This policy will take effect in January 2021,” he said at a conference cited by the YouTube channel of the Ministry of Education and Culture, on Friday. (11/20/2020).
Nobody added that opening schools or face-to-face meetings requires the permission of three parties. That is, the local government, the school principals and the parents through the school committee.

“If schools are opened, parents can still make the decision not to allow children not to go to face-to-face school. So the last right is for the parents. Face-to-face schools are allowed, they are not compulsory.
