Members of the committee of epidemiologists advising the government on the course of the pandemic and Εducation Minister Niki Kerameos are meeting on Wednesday to decide on the reopening of the schools in Greece.
Epidemiologists and the Education Minister are to decide whether, when and under which conditions the schools can open again after they were closed in November 2020..
Top on the agenda is the reopening of lyceums as those at the 3rd grade face the university entrance exams in summer.
According to media, the Minister wants the lyceums reopening on April 12, 2021.
Announcements are expected later today.
*** Epidemiologists reportedly recommended the opening of the 3 lyceums grades on April 12.
Note that schools will have to close again on April 23 for two weeks due to Easter holidays.
Why the discussion? His mate the tourism minister has already said “the whole country is safe”. Let’s get these children back to school. Like bars and restaurants, it has to be done before May 14th anyway, so let’s crack on!
