The government will give the principals of the schools greater opportunities to change their operations, says Education Minister Anna Ekström (S) at a press conference.

- It can be about the length of the academic year, when subjects are to be read, school activities on weekends or distance education, she says.

She continues:

- The purpose is to create more space for the principals who reorganize their school activities if the business is affected by the new corona virus.

Anna Ekström announced that the government will make the decision on Friday.

- The risk of general spread of infection remains very high. This is a difficult situation. Then the whole society must stand strong.
