School closure extended

This year exams for middle school students will be held from June 16-18 and the secondary school leaving exam (high school exit exam in the US) will be held from June 8-29, said Dariusz Piontkowski, Poland’s education minister, adding that schools would remain closed until May 24. According to him, current epidemic conditions do not allow schools, kindergartens and nurseries to resume their activities.

He noted that students of primary, middle and secondary schools would continue their education remotely. He added at the same time that in a few days the government will provide information on whether “some of these facilities will be able to carry out some form of care activity”.
