The presentation of certificates to graduates of schools in the Vitebsk region will take place outdoors. The ceremonies will be held on June 10-11, as reported by the main department for education of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee.
Following the recommendations of the department, almost all events are scheduled for June 10. Depending on the number of children and graduating classes, the management of educational institutions will independently decide on the timing of the certificate presentation ceremonies. For safety reasons, parents will be seated at the celebration with social distancing measures in place. The decision on restricting alcohol sales on these days is left to the discretion of local authorities.
In the coming days, school administrations, together with parents and children, will determine the format for holding graduation parties. "In the traditional sense, as it was before, they will certainly not happen. However, we do not want to deprive graduates of the celebration. Options for how to mark the occasion are currently being discussed," the department noted.
In the Vitebsk region, 9,567 teenagers will receive certificates for completing general basic education this year. Certificates for completing secondary school will be awarded to 5,520 eleventh-graders.
