The Education Ministry is "ready for the new school year"

“We're ready for a new school year,” Education Minister Branislav Gröhling (SaS) announced on August 18 when presenting how the start to the school year would look.

All schools will open in September, following new basic guidelines on how to operate during the pandemic.

“The school year starts on September 2 and all children are obliged to attend,” the minister said.
