“The motivation is clear - to minimize both the economic and financial losses that the coronavirus has brought us. We will naturally discuss this initiative, ”the senator said.
Ryazansky noted that questions remained on this proposal.
“I mean, what to do with children during this vacation time, how to be with parents and children, how to plan children's vacations in winter ... Maybe colleagues from the education committee will look for answers to these questions, maybe in a change training schedule. Therefore, we will not give definitive answers to this initiative now. We must listen to all the pros and cons. Because here the issue is not only economic, it is also social, it concerns the state of the educational system - it is complex, ”the parliamentarian concluded.
Earlier, the head of the economic department of the Council of the Federation, Andrei Kutepov, sent a bill on the reduction of the New Year holidays in 2021 from January 1 to 3 for recall to the Ministry of Labor.
Such an initiative, as claimed, is necessary to compensate for non-working days in 2020 due to the situation with coronavirus infection.
