No decision has yet been made on whether or not to resume classes on Monday. At the extraordinary meeting, Besa Shahini put forward two options. The Minister of Education said teaching should be suspended only in cities where the state of emergency was declared or only in schools where there was damage.

â??I don't think that in Durres, despite the measures we have taken, it is time to start teaching on Monday. I think Tirana, Lezha and the counties need some time to make the necessary repairs to open schools and resume teaching.

We have two options for resuming learning in all intact circles, as we need to start the normalization process and postpone resuming learning in areas where we have declared a state of emergency.

A second less preferred option for us is not to start teaching in the Durres region only, while in the districts of Tirana, Lezha, not only in the identified schools with problems.

But I think this will be a tipping point in these circles. We have to make a decision as a cabinet. �

The decision will be made by the cabinet and is expected to be made public in the later hours.
