The new Minister of Education, Branko Ružić, has said that the government’s Crisis Unit will discuss the possibility of extending the school winter break for elementary and high school students.
Responding to questions from journalists, Ružić said that the decision on a possible extension of three days of winter break for primary and high school students has not yet been made.
“The Crisis Unit will assess whether such a decision could help prevent the spread of the coronavirus,” Minister Ružić added.
The autumn break for elementary school pupils should begin on Wednesday, November 11 and last until Sunday, November 15.
