As announced, starting December 1, schools will apply alternately online and classroom instruction. At first, all this sounded vague to each of the parties, but the Minister of Education, Evis Kushi clarified how this method will work, as a strategy that helps prevent Covid-19.
According to this instruction, the primary grades (first to fifth grade) and the 12th grade (graduates) will develop the learning process on the school premises.
The rest, both grades 6-9 as well as the first and second year (grades 10 and 11) will conduct teaching according to a calendar divided into weekly single and pair.
The first and third week, the first 2 days of the week teaching will take place on school premises, while the other 3 days online. In the couple weeks, the second and fourth week will alternate.
At the moment, this teaching strategy will be applied only in schools that have a low risk of spreading the virus. Depending on the situation and its possible change, the scenario can be applied when only primary grades (from 1 to 5) and graduates develop classroom teaching. While other classes are done online.
