Universities can pivot online if necessary – Minister

Croatia’s Science and Education Minister Radovan Fuchs has said the epidemiological situation in the education system was relatively good and that universities could switch to online lectures within 24 hours, reports HINA.

“The situation at Croatian universities is relatively good today, however; in case of any request to switch to online, I can say with full responsibility that all universities and their components are prepared to go online within 24 hours,” Fuchs said.

It is necessary, however, to estimate whether switching to online lectures will bring the desired results, primarily to reduce the pressure on the health system, as sending a larger number of students to their homes could increase the spread of the virus – because as many as 20,000 students studying in Zagreb come from outside Zagreb.
