Here is the new work schedule due to the coronavirus in public education and vocational training institutions
After the government ordered schools to be closed due to the coronavirus and decided to introduce a digital work schedule, the Department of Human Resources announced the new public education rules on Saturday.
The information reveals that teachers are paid in the same way as before. EMMI emphasizes that all public education institutions are affected by the decision, except kindergartens, pedagogical service institutions, and institutions providing pedagogical and professional services.
Students are not allowed to enter their school from Monday. The distribution of curriculum, lessons and essay writing will be done online or in a way that does not require a personal meeting.
EMMI also addresses the issue of student nutrition, stressing that it remains a municipal task. However, the ministry states that this should not be the case in schools and that, where appropriate, students should be provided with the best possible locally available meal options.
