Education ministry reminds parents to immediately report children’s absences

Parents or guardians of students in primary education are obliged to immediately contact the school in the event of their child’s absence, to “avoid unpleasant situations”, the education ministry said on Friday.

According to current legislation, all primary schools, no matter whether public or private, as well as kindergartens must be notified either the day before or on the morning of the absence. This requirement also applies to partial-day absences.
