So far during this academic year, Croatian students have spent 78% of education in schools, and 22% has been organised as online learning, Education Minister Radovan Fuchs said on Sunday evening.

“At the beginning of this school year, the ministry issued guidelines for the organisation of this academic year, and education has been provided in compliance with those guidelines,” he told the commercial RTL broadcaster.

Our interactive approach has proved to be very efficient and I am proud that all pupils have spent 78% of this school year’s classes in schools, the minister added.

As of Monday, 12 April, 16 out of the 21 counties in Croatia are switching to digital learning or to a combined model of digital and face to face education.

The end of this school year is close and I think that we can be satisfied with the share of classroom education this year, Fuchs said.
