Teaching in the next two weeks: current timetables for students are valid

Teaching in the next two weeks: current timetables for students are valid

Pursuant to Resolution No. 997 of the Government of the Czech Republic (8 October 2020) on the adoption of a crisis measure, the operation of higher education institutions is limited with effect from 12 October 2020 to 25 October 2020 by prohibiting the personal presence of students in classes at higher education institutions — this includes participants in lifelong learning courses. Participation in clinical and practical teaching and the practice of students of medical study programmes is permitted.

Therefore, at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of University of South Bohemia, a two-week online course starts on Monday, October 12. Exceptions have been made for selected subjects containing clinical or practical teaching — and these will be implemented with classical attendance.

The Dean of FHSS USB Mgr. Ivana Chloubová, Ph.D, explained:  "Selected subjects will keep to the current schedule, whilst practical teaching will take place physically in the buildings of FHSS USB. The organization of these practical classes relies on the consideration of the respective teachers."  

The Dean also emphasized that clinical and practical training should take place in compliance with the relevant regulations (e.g. respiratory protection).

Students' internships will continue to run unchanged. The buildings of the University of South Bohemia ( i.e. all the buildings of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences) remain open in the mentioned period — and it is only  group full-time teaching that will be replaced by a different method.

To ensure quality distance learning, all classrooms and lecture theatres in all buildings of our faculty have been equipped with webcams, microphones, and headphones, prompting the Dean to add: "We believe that even under  the current circumstances, quality teaching will be ensured."
