The Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development has given its consent to move from direct teaching to distance learning in a total of 69 schools in Serbia, according to data that schools submitted to school administrations as of Monday, November 23, 2020.
Of that number, 46 schools switched to distance education in their entirety: 25 primary schools (1.9 percent) and 21 secondary schools (4.1 percent).
In 23 elementary schools (1.8 percent), second cycle students were approved to undertake distance education for a maximum of 14 days.
Some of the schools were approved to work remotely only in a separate class, as well as in certain groups of classes.
These are schools in school administrations in Jagodina, Leskovac, Nis, Pozarevac, Novi Sad, Zajecar, Kosovska Mitrovica.
The emergency headquarters of local self-governments can make a decision on the introduction of an emergency situation, which necessarily applies to the citizens, institutions and organizations of that unit, says the Ministry of Education for “Blic”.
The introduction of an emergency situation requires considering the implementation of the form of direct educational work in educational institutions, for which the cities / municipalities turn to the corresponding Ministry, that is, to the competent school administration, to give their consent to change the organization of educational work in a given period of time. in this Ministry.
The establishment of an emergency situation does not imply the obligatory interruption of direct teaching.
Schools are forced to choose a platform through which they will conduct distance education, they say.
In addition, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development provided the students of the territory of the Republic of Serbia with the follow-up of the classes through the public media service.
These days, the decision on schools for all of Serbia
We remind you that school classes throughout Serbia could, due to the worsening epidemiological situation, undergo certain changes. Several options are being considered, the safest of which is that currently older classes go online and younger classes still go to classrooms.
As far as school institutions are concerned, as things stand now, the dilemma remains whether the oldest grades of primary schools should be online, that is, from the fifth. Under the current idea, high schools and universities would be online.
Education Minister Branko Ružić said yesterday that “these days” it will be known what the final decision will be.
WHAT ABOUT KINDERS AND YOUNGER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS?
The youngest from first to fourth would continue to go to classrooms and kindergartens would remain open.
If the selective transition to online measure is adopted, as we have learned, it will be limited to 10 or 15 days.
The transition to younger classes is difficult for both families and the state because the parents are at work and there is no one to take care of the children. However, on the other hand, according to the latest data, more and more schools are switching to the Internet.
