Schools and colleges will not be closed for now due to the increase in the number of new cases of kovida-19, says the Minister of Education, Science and Technological Development Mladen Šarčević, noting that educational institutions are ready if the epidemiological situation worsens.

Šarčević told Tanjug that online classes have been prepared since this summer, so that pupils and students can follow the lectures without hindrance, and claimed that the material was recorded a month in advance.
“We have classes that are broadcast on the planet RTS, as well as in Sandzak, in the Novi Pazar area for the Bosnian minority, in the Bujanovac area … RTV in Vojvodina broadcasts recorded classes,” says the minister.

He adds that the Ministry also received a platform from UNICEF to monitor the classes, and that a large amount of material is being recorded.
“We started recording a lot, we have more than 200 hours for vocational high school subjects,” says Šarčević.
It points out that there is the possibility that schools will close in a certain region, if there is a significant deterioration in the epidemiological situation, but also that it will not affect other schools in the country.
“What to close schools all over Serbia, due to one region, but the crisis staff will decide on that,” Sarcevic emphasized.

He stated that currently about two percent of elementary and middle school students attend classes online, noting that there are far fewer newcomers in educational institutions than in other institutions.
He said that around 60 elementary and middle school students currently suffer from kovida-19, indicating that of that number, about 62 percent of elementary school students and 38 percent of high school students are corona positive.
It also says that among the students who are in the dormitories, there is not a single person with the crown, and that there are no infected people in the Student Center, which currently houses 7,600 students. Šarčević notes that strict controls are in place in schools in the fight against the spread of the corona virus.
“Strict controls are being carried out, but the exits of students out of school institutions cannot be controlled by institutions,” said Šarčević, stressing that the current education system is working well for now.
