The Commission for Infectious Diseases at Thursday’s meeting with the representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science recommended pupils up to third grade to go back to school, while the rest of the students to take online classes.
Ministers of Education and Health had opposing views over the beginning of the school year – Education Minister Ademi personally believes that physical presence is needed because nothing can replace the traditional way of education. Health Minister Filipche, on the other hand, is in favor of online teaching because he says that the presence of children in school desks is a risk, given that it is not known what will happen in the coming months.
