Universities to teach some subjects offline

Kyrgyzstan’s Ministry of Education has created a working group that will determine which subjects can be taught online and which subjects need to be taught in traditional form, writes Maria Orlova for 24.kg.

The Minister of Education and Science Almazbek Beishenaliev gave the order on its creation at a meeting with rectors of universities. The ministry noted that even before the start of the academic year, action algorithms were developed for primary, secondary and higher vocational education.

They included three scenarios for teaching students of professional lyceums, colleges and universities: online format (implemented since 1 September 2020), use of distance technologies in conjunction with an offline form, and resumption of study in the traditional form. The last, as the ministry noted, is possible after stabilisation of the coronavirus epidemiological situation together with measures such as mandatory temperature measurement, daily sanitisation of classrooms and conditions for the observance of personal hygiene by students and teachers.
