ZAGREB, 18 June 2021 - Science and Education Minister Radovan Fuchs said on Friday that Croatia was among the top European countries, if not at the very top, for the number of hours of face to face lessons during the school year that just ended and expressed his satisfaction that such a demanding year ended successfully.
Minister Fuchs congratulated teachers, principals, students and their parents for their patience during this demanding school year.
He assessed that despite scepticism, they had proved with this approach that 98% of elementary pupils from grades 1 to 4 managed to attend face to face lessons, with 87% of higher elementary grades also managing to attend face to face lessons. In secondary school, 71% attended face to face classes, while as many as 90% of fourth-year students attended lessons in person.
Fuchs announced that he would present this data at a World Health Organization (WHO) conference in Copenhagen on 2 July on experiences during the coronavirus pandemic.
