“During the day of 19.11.2024, a video conference was held with the general school inspectors, during which the method of preparing the educational units where the polling stations will be organized was discussed, according to what was established in the meeting of the Central Technical Commission for the coordination election organization activities”, informs the Ministry of Education, which sends some recommendations.
Thus, on Fridays, the suspension of classes at the level of educational units is not required. On Monday, instead, only in exceptional situations, educational units can approve program changes. It is, for example, about delaying the start time of the program, depending on the specific situation at the level of each school. Any situations of this type will be communicated in advance to the county school inspectorates.
How the students will learn on Monday
On Mondays, it is not recommended to suspend classes except in situations that do not allow the educational process to proceed in safe conditions and with the prior approval of the general school inspector. Any changes to the program will be communicated to parents and students as soon as possible.
The 2024 presidential election, the first round, will take place on Sunday, November 24. The 2024 parliamentary elections will be held on December 1, and the second presidential round will take place on December 8. On all three Sundays, polling stations will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
