ZAGREB, 11 January, 2021 - Assistant Education Minister Momir Karin said on Monday the second semester would begin on 18 January and that efforts were being made for it to start also in the earthquake-hit region, though the model was yet to be decided.

"We are gathering all the relevant information so that we can organise classes. There are 48 schools in the earthquake-hit region, 28 are undamaged, nine are unusable and 12 are temporarily unusable," Karin said on Croatian Radio.

"In total, 912 inhabitants have been evacuated from that region. We'll list the children among them and ensure online classes, and the ministry will provide them with all the necessary equipment."

Karin said the first day of the new semester in Zagreb schools would begin with earthquake evacuation drills.
