This flexibility enables educational institutions to adjust the format of learning, holiday periods, and weekly schedules as needed.
According to the initial plan, winter holidays are set to begin on December 30, 2024, and end on January 10, 2025. However, individual schools may modify the duration of holidays and classes based on local conditions, especially in cases of power supply disruptions.
Administrators are empowered to make adjustments depending on the circumstances specific to their regions.
To mitigate the impact of potential power outages, schools are allowed to determine class times and choose the most suitable learning format—whether in-person, online, or hybrid.
In areas facing significant energy challenges, remote learning may become the most practical solution, particularly for schools without independent heating systems or reliable access to electricity.
For institutions adopting a mixed learning model, specific safety measures are required. Schools must have access to nearby shelters suitable for conducting classes during air raid alerts or ensure that such shelters are located within 500 meters of the building.
Some institutions have opted to skip the usual fall break, instead extending the winter holidays. This adjustment aims to provide students with more continuous rest during the peak of the energy crisis, minimizing disruptions and maintaining educational quality. The flexibility allows educators to respond swiftly to power supply issues and adapt the learning process accordingly.
Given the unpredictable energy situation, parents and students are advised to stay informed and be prepared for potential changes in the school schedule throughout the academic year.
