Therefore, according to him, it was decided to switch to distance education for seniors for a week after the fall break.
“The pandemic in Lithuania is developing very fast and health professionals not only suggest, but also categorically state that it would take a two-week break, because the situation in schools is really worrying,” the minister told reporters at Kaunas on Thursday.
“The figures are not great: there are about 250 students, out of more than 300 thousand.” It is not much, but there are still sick students and we have about 150 sick teachers, that is also worrying, “he added.
Another about 4.5 thousand. Students and around 500 teachers are currently isolated due to risky contacts with patients.
He hoped that a two-week break in live instruction would be sufficient and after which students would be able to return to classes again, and distance learning would only apply in institutions where chimneys were registered.
A. Monkevičius claims that a lot has been done since the spring to allow schools to operate remotely: buying additional computers, preparing study plans.
“Many things are organized in such a way that each school can carry out distance learning successfully,” he said.
According to him, although it is difficult to say if all schools are ready, communicating with their leaders gives the impression that in most schools educators are trained and ready for teleworking.
After school, preschool, preschool and primary holidays, vocational training will take place in the usual way, ensuring the established management of the flow of people, respect for a safe distance and other conditions.
According to A. Monkevičius, primary and pre-school children will return to educational institutions after the holidays, both because it is extremely difficult to educate them remotely and because their parents would have to stay home with them, which would be a huge blow to both. companies and the state.
“It was mainly taken into account that health professionals and parents wanted these children to be educated at that time. Otherwise, the parents would have to retire completely, the situation of the labor market would be disturbed, and all the more because it would be an unbearable burden, probably very suddenly, for Sodra, who would have to pay disability benefits, “said the minister.
Non-formal education for children and adults should also be at a distance or interrupted.
