Awareness of Coronavirus Changes for All Graduates – Let’s Prepare for How Uncomfortable It Can Be Hear

200 teachers are sick or isolated

Aidas Aldakauskas, director of the Department of Regional Policy and Quality of Education of the Ministry of Education and Science, says in the Delfi Day program that currently about 200 teachers are in isolation or sick.

“It just came to our knowledge then. If we count the percentage of almost 30 thousand, it is not large. If more infected teachers are concentrated in one school, this is already a problem; let’s say, in Raseiniai, all the schools started distance education. But not because there was a big problem in the schools, but simply in the municipality the indicator was quite high.

On Sunday, two schools, one from the Kėdainiai municipality and the other from the Kupiškis municipality, where distance education will also be temporarily organized, “fell” into our database. There seems to be a relatively high incidence of small schools and not in the inner city, but simply in those neighborhoods, so the NVSC recommended choosing distance education for some time. So the scale is about that.

And the big picture is this: Last week we were interested in what kind of learning schools chose, about 15 percent of schools organized blended learning, combining regular learning with distance learning and 80 percent. one hundred learning in the usual way, ”said the ministry spokesman.

Ensures that distance learning is beneficial

When asked if there would be learning gaps or other problems in schools where students have to study at a distance, the interviewee assured that efforts are being made so that there is no worse.

“After those three months in the spring, both the schools, the municipalities and the ministry did everything possible to make the second generation of distance education much simpler, more understandable and less terrible. I am referring both to the legal acts adopted by us and to the various recommendations, methodologies, ambition to make this a reality for all schools this year, and the criteria are clearly written, what standard should be met, ”said A. Aldakauskas.

According to him, even some teachers say that in the short term, distance education can even be very useful.

“The municipalities also bought digital content for the schools and the schools updated the equipment. Of course, we can not talk about 100 percent, but 10 days of distance learning, even the teachers said that a certain part of the educational process is good, but if for a longer period of time, the distance will not really change the teaching normal, ” said the interlocutor.

Get the attention of graduates

When asked what is the situation of the graduates, the interviewee assured that there is a real need to prepare for the exams, there are no considerations that something is facilitated, although the epidemiological situation may worsen.

“So far, I can only be glad to have to prepare for the exams. It is too early to speak and consider scenario A, B or C now, but remembering the end of schooling last year, the exam session was still carried on. carried out under conditions where the coronavirus was still active.

I understand that in June the situation has eased a bit, but we were really preparing for a pretty tense scenario. Dear ones, let’s be prepared no matter how unpleasant it is to hear, but so far there are no solutions that there is any relief. “
