“We have to organize the process by looking at a specific school. Really different areas, different class sizes, different groups of people at risk: compositions, volumes. The school principal, in consultation with the school board, the community and the founder, must discover a way for the school to function, “Minister A. Monkevičius said during a press conference on Thursday.

“And now we would like not to experiment, after thinking it over, choosing solutions that do not violate safety requirements, but help to try, see what to do if the number of children is large and does not meet hygiene standards, what would it be like? possible or impossible to organize. “
If this is not possible, one should stop and certainly not experiment with and [mokslo metus] to complete remotely, “urged A. Monkevičius.
Schools, according to the minister, will be able to combine regular education with distance education. An example of such coordination, he said, could be: “In elementary schools, teachers who are not at risk lead live, contact lessons for the children who have gathered. Children who stay home can work with them on teachers who are at risk. “
“There may be another option, when there is a live broadcast of the lesson, and children, if there are technological possibilities, practically participate in that lesson,” said A. Monkevičius.
Here, he said, “very incredible opportunities” open up, because no matter where the student is geographically, he or she can join virtually any municipal lesson.
“Of course, there is only one opportunity here, but it is not only theoretical, but also practically possible,” said the Minister of Education.
According to him, on average, a fifth of educators in educational institutions belong to the risk group: they are elderly and suffer from chronic diseases. They are advised to continue working from home. The Minister said that not all teachers are still equipped with the technological tools necessary for such work, they will need help.
According to A. Monkevičius, it was decided to allow students to return to class upon receipt of requests from returning parents. It is true that students returning to educational institutions will have to accept special safety recommendations. According to A. Monkevičius, they are still coordinating with the municipalities, although they should be similar to those that apply to preschool institutions.
