The President also paid special attention to changes in the education system in the post-quarantine period: “Education should be made much more flexible, protocols and methods for teaching children and students in remote mode should be developed, and all educational institutions in the country should be fully digitalized.” For many educational institutions, the period of quarantine has become an exam for strength, and conducting classes in the mode of remote technologies has allowed to continue the educational process without disruptions.
