Plaga considers the beginning of full-time teaching in the 1st and 2nd grades of primary schools to be a priority, followed by the resumption of the operation of special schools and the opening of the final years of primary and secondary schools.
–
It is not yet clear when it will open. The Minister of Health Jan Blatný (for YES) stated that the government does not want to give any false hopes, and therefore he is not talking about specific dates now.
–
Plaga agrees with him. According to him, the return of one school year means that up to 100,000 people will get moving.

At first only one class from the year
Therefore, the Minister of Education did not rule out that in the first phase, students will learn in shifts, ie that only half of the classes from a given year will always be present at the school. After the final year pupils of primary and secondary schools, practical training for students of secondary and higher vocational schools should be resumed.
–
This will be followed by laboratory teaching at universities in groups of up to 15 people, followed by the renewal of full-time teaching in other years of the first stage of primary schools. Then comes the turn of the second grade of primary schools, high schools and the expansion of groups for teaching at universities.

Closure of special schools
The government also decided on Friday to close special schools. “Teaching at special schools will take place remotely from Monday (November 2),” the minister wrote on the social network.

Most schools in the Czech Republic have been closed since 14 October. On Monday, November 2, schools were originally scheduled to open.
–
When the epidemic situation did not improve, members of the government said that only primary school students, or at least children from first and second grades, would return to school on Monday.
–
But that will not happen either. On Tuesday, after the government meeting, former Minister of Health Roman Prymula (for YES) announced that the schools would remain closed.
