The basic model of work in schools from September 1 is stationary education. It is possible to introduce a mixed model when the school principal obtains the consent of the governing body and a positive opinion of the Sanepid. Then it may decide that some children or classes will attend school in traditional form and some – distance learning. With a greater epidemic threat, it is also possible to transfer the entire school to distance education.
