Even if colleges and universities don’t get enough self-tests this month, they are allowed to teach their students one day a week on campus. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science writes this.
Self-tests allow universities and colleges to receive their students on campus one day a week from April 26, believes the cabinet, but those self-tests are not decisive.
Hitch
There may be a hitch. Perhaps the institutions are getting fewer self-tests than expected or they are not getting those tests to their students quickly enough. It will not hinder opening for one day a week, he said questions and answers which the Ministry of Education put online on Good Friday.
Students don’t even have to take the self-tests out of the package if they don’t feel like it. Its use is “always voluntary,” the ministry said. “Students do not have to provide proof of a negative test to gain access to the educational institution.”
At the gate
Education Minister Van Engelshoven said this last week. The institutions will not check at the gate whether a student (or employee) has a negative test.
Physical education stays within a meter and a half and public transport must not become too busy. With or without self-test: students cannot all get on the bus or train at 8:30 at the same time. The self-tests cost the Treasury about half a billion euros, including distribution.
