â¬6 million will be spent on summer education camps for children this year to help close the gaps created by distance learning, the Ministry of Education and Research has said.
The ministry will give grants of up to â¬120 per participant to attend the camps which will last between three and five days.
Mari Tikerpuu, the chief specialist of the ministry, said the main aim is to encourage children s interest in learning and to then support the goals set by the curriculum. There is really no one in the ministry who thinks that after distance learning all students should be forced to go to school. Of course, motivation for learning will not be developed over a few days. But it is possible to rekindle interest and support the joy of learning. Certainly, the debts incurred during the six months will not be solved by the camps activities, Tikerpuu said.
