On Friday March 13 we had nearly a third of students absent - and only half because they were sick.

What drove that decision? Is the fact that you are a private school a key factor that enabled you to act independently and swiftly?

Stembridge School is the first in Belarus to switch to online learning in the face of the Coronavirus Pandemic. We interviewed Natalia to know more about her schools' move to online learning, as part of our #learningconnects campaign. The well-equipped school even has its own radio station. A private school with 150 students aged 6-15, it was founded in 2008 and teaches a range of academic disciplines according to national educational standards for secondary schools with a focus on 21 st century skills. Natalia Iskortseva is Principal and co-founder of Stembridge School in Minsk, Belarus.
