During the spread of COVID-19, an educational institution implements the learning process according to one of three models or combines two or more models simultaneously, depending on the circumstances at the particular educational institution.

Model A – in-person learning. An educational institution implements this model if it is possible to ensure the basic precautionary requirements.

Model B – a combined model, in which learning takes place both in person and remotely (in this case, 50% in person and 50% remotely). An educational institution implements this model when it is not possible to ensure the necessary precautionary measures for all students/pupils, including optimal occupancy of shared spaces and coordination of groups in accordance with the basic precautionary requirements.

Model C – all learning takes place remotely. Under Model C, students do not attend the educational institution’s premises; they study entirely remotely, either online with a teacher or by completing independent assignments individually or in cooperation with others, with the teacher’s purposeful and systematic support. This model may be applied to an individual student, a class, a group of classes or the entire educational institution.
