As the minister noted, each region knows its epidemiological situation and will make decisions on certain measures based on health protection requirements.

“Wherever they decide not to hold live lines, other formats will be chosen, but we will definitely preserve the general atmosphere of the holiday,” he said.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that there will be no rulers in the capital's schools in the new academic year.

In July, Kravtsov said that the traditional lineup in schools on September 1 will be held, but security measures will be provided.

He also noted that the format of their conduct will depend on the epidemiological situation in a particular region.
