The announcement of the resumption and reopening of schools has raised many questions from students or parents who are still unclear about how to proceed. Through an online communication, the Minister of Education, Besa Shahini has answered some of the most frequently asked questions about teaching.
To the question, "Is there an opportunity for online learning for those who want to follow it at home", Shahini answered:
"We have students who have chronic diseases. They may need to stay home because their health and safety are at stake. In this case, these children will work mainly through online learning and will attend lectures at ART, always keeping in touch with their teachers who can be evaluated and attend classes with their peers. "
The Minister went on to say that in schools where the number of students is smaller and social distance can be maintained, the entire curriculum will be developed, unlike others that will focus more on the main subjects.
"In the schools that will be divided into groups and will work in shifts, we will focus more on the main subjects, while the other subjects will be combined with teaching at home. Physical education will take place on the days when the weather allows it to take place outside in the school yard. "
Shahini said that for each floor in the schools there will be a caretaker who will take care of the smooth running of the teaching process, for entering and leaving the school and respecting the physical distance.
One of the new rules in the guidelines published so far did not allow the consumption of food in the classroom, but there have been those who have not understood the rationale for such a decision.
The Minister explained that consuming food in the classroom means removing the mask, touching the mouth with hands (which may be disinfected, etc.), so such an action in that environment poses a risk to students and teachers.
