Minister reveals number of schools shifting to distance education due to COVID-19

"If there are 6-7 teachers in the school, the classes they teach are analyzed. The classes the teachers enter most and the people they communicate most are identified," said Education Minister Emin Amrullayev.

Report quotes him as saying that, according to the rules, those who came in contact with them are placed on temporary quarantine: "For this reason, there will be a transition to distance education in some classes and schools. This has happened in about 50 schools since the beginning of the school year. It happens mainly in big cities. Because they are more crowded. In general, if we take into account that there are about 4,450 schools in Azerbaijan, about 50 schools are quite a small number."
