“All children return to school, the introduction of some additional protection measures is not yet planned,” a representative of the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport commented on tv3.lt on Thursday.
The Ministry of Health, for its part, emphasizes that if the epidemiological situation deteriorates, the government could adopt stricter restrictions, even in the organization of education.
Last day another record 950 new coronavirus cases were diagnosed, killing six people. This shows that the situation in the country is deteriorating, but education in schools has not yet changed.
Prepare more models for the educational process.
Earlier this week, Health Minister and Chief Operating Officer Aurelijus Veryga hinted that new models of how older students can learn are already being considered.
“It is promised to continue talking with the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports if the situation continues to deteriorate due to students in basic and secondary education.” It would be desirable to provide them with at least minimal access to networking.
So we talk about those models that are used in some places, for example, every two weeks contact-based learning, the other two non-contact learning.
Apparently the same use of masks will be considered for elementary and middle school students. But it is for the future, we will talk about it this week, ”the operations manager told Knowledge Radio.
In Kaunas, they considered that the classes would change every week
Darius Trečiakauskas, chairman of the board of the Lithuanian Parents’ Forum, stated on tv3.lt that he had also heard of various models of education.
“Kaunas city and district also considered that one class learns remotely for a week and the other class goes to class. And next week – changing. Such changes are being considered to reduce the flow of people.
However, to judge and evaluate, it is necessary to have raw data. Today we do not have a specific analysis. We have only heard that the president is electing a group of specialized advisers, perhaps that analysis will begin ”, said D. Trečiakauskas.
According to him, both parents and teachers see the current educational process in Lithuania in different ways: “They say they should be careful and focus on risk groups. Most of our teachers are at risk age, so perhaps there should be some measure at the state level. But today everything is happening chaotically, say one thing, this other “.
“If we look at what is happening in the world: France, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia, none of them have closed any educational institution.
Studies show that children are less sick or more likely to get sick. “A young person with strong immunity acquires faster antivirus in this case as well,” he added.
“The government can take tougher measures”
The Ministry of Education, Science and Sports recalls that the government’s decision announces a contact education pause for students: students are on vacation this week and older people will study remotely next week.
For beginners, as well as preschoolers and preschoolers, education will take place in the form of contact next week. That means they go back to school classes. After the holidays, special education and special classes in the general education schools will be available as usual.
Children will also return to classes in municipalities where the quarantine has been announced and will be in the red zone, unless the municipality itself decides otherwise on the recommendation of the National Center for Public Health and chooses to organize education remotely. .
The Ministry of Health reported that distance education is also recommended for students in higher education and vocational schools.
Since November 9, general education, non-formal education of children and adults, vocational training, educational institutions and other educational provider institutions are carried out in accordance with the conditions established by the Emergency Operations Manual at the state level.
These are the conditions for the management of the flow of people, the maintenance of a safe distance and other conditions necessary for the safety of public health, hygiene and the provision of people with the necessary personal protective equipment.
Thus, as of November 9, the obligation of students to study at a distance no longer exists.
However, we note that if the epidemiological situation deteriorates, the Government could adopt stricter measures. Whether stricter measures are needed will depend on public awareness and compliance with the recommendations for virus prevention, ”the ministry representative commented.
NVSC: “Dozens of coronavirus cases in educational institutions every day”
A spokeswoman for the National Public Health Center (NVSC) told BNS on Thursday that “dozens of coronavirus cases are diagnosed in educational institutions every day.”
“We observe that information on infections in educational institutions continues to be included in the system by specialists during the epidemiological investigation, and as we have it, in a communication to the public,” commented a representative of the NVSC.
According to the NVSC, 765 students, 462 school staff members and 213 students have been diagnosed with coronavirus infection since September.
