“the End of the current school year has been difficult,” stated the head of state. But the Russian education system, pupils, students, their mentors stood the test with dignity, he said.
One of the first measures to combat the epidemic of coronavirus was the transfer of schools, colleges, universities in remote mode. “It was a tough decision, but I am convinced that is absolutely true,” said the President. It is necessary to protect the life, health, in this case – children, young people, teachers and lecturers, he explained.
“Teach and learn in such extraordinary circumstances, it was not easy. Seriously increased load on teachers, it was necessary to quickly learn new technologies, to establish the technique, otherwise be ready for lessons,” continued Putin. The teachers had to stay in touch with the students almost constantly, and for parents the importance of teacher’s work opened a new way, because the educational process literally took place in front of them. For students – it also was a serious test, the test of responsibility and independence, when the main motivation is the desire to learn, Putin said. The head of state is convinced that this experience will be useful in the future.
