The coronavirus pandemic has not brought forth a negative effect when it comes to preparations for first grade, say teachers who have graded the knowledge of preschoolers going to entry tests.
In Tallinn s 21st School, four separate first grades will begin their school journey on September 1. One of those, an English-language class, has to go through entry tests first. 280 children were in the running for the 28 classroom places, ETV s daily affairs show Aktuaalne kaamera reported on Sunday. This corona did not bring anything special to studying. We continued reading and did some calculations at home. That is how preparations go, said Ingrid, a parent.
