Next week, not only elementary students are going on vacation, but high school students as well. Starting Wednesday, all elementary and middle school students will have three days off, it was decided in today’s crisis staff session.
As “Blic” learns, the idea that was in circulation was abandoned for classes to be online on Monday and Tuesday. However, it is broken that students go to school.
Initially, only elementary school students were supposed to go on vacation from Wednesday to Friday.
Long vacations were first mentioned as an option by Education Minister Branko Ružić, and epidemiologist Predrag Kon mentioned that they had been carefully considered.
– In elementary schools, we are seriously thinking about the fact that it would be useful to extend the holidays. The system is designed so that classes don’t have to be shortened, but when you’re already on vacation, it makes sense to extend it. There were groups in three secondary schools in Belgrade. There were 61 new cases of the infection in secondary schools and 57 in elementary schools last week, which is two and a half times more than before and that number will increase. We would combine long vacations with other measures that can be applied – says Dr. Kon.
As for primary schools, a total of 47 students and 34 teachers were infected last week, according to data that “Blic” received from the Ministry of Education.
The new minister confirmed yesterday to “Blic” that he is seriously considering the reorganization of teaching through a statement.
– Due to the current epidemiological situation, the Crisis Staff will consider the need for a different organization of educational work in primary and secondary schools. Classes in schools will be organized in the best interest of students and employees, “said First Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia and Minister of Education, Science and Technological Development Branko Ruzic.
As “Blic” was the first to write yesterday, the crisis staff could make the decision that elementary school students will have classes online on Monday and Tuesday, and then they will be on so-called mini fall break for the next three days.
