Practical-laboratory works to be resumed in higher education institutions from tomorrow, while other components of the educational process will be continued remotely

From October 19, Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Zugdidi and Poti higher education institutions will resume only practical-laboratory work in the university premises, - said the Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports, Nunu Mitskevich.

According to Mitskevich, other components of the curriculum are still remotely managed by higher education institutions within their authority.

"It is noteworthy that a few months before the start of the school year, we started working with the Ministry of Health on safety recommendations. Accordingly, all mandatory recommendations are defined and strictly observed by the universities - this is to maintain a distance of one meter between desks, to us face masks in all auditoriums, to use sanitizers, disinfection barriers, thermoscreening when entering the university space, etc. The Department of Labor Inspection of the Ministry of Health inspected all the universities at the beginning of the academic year, issued permits, and therefore we can say that all the spaces that will open to students on October 19 will be safe and the health of each of them will be protected", - said Nunu Mitskevich.
