Distance learning will not be able to replace live communication and schoolchildren will return to classes as soon as the epidemiological situation allows.

This was said at a briefing in the Cabinet of Ministers by Acting Minister of Education and Science Lubomyr Mandziy.

At the same time, she noted that distance learning technologies, new methods and tools mastered by teachers will definitely become an integral part of the educational process.

"We have to be ready for any challenges, so we are finalizing the platform for distance learning and updating the approaches to learning in general," said Mandziy.
