Start of year recap

In January, LYY’s new Executive Board began planning for next year. The month culminated in the news that the Ministry of Education and Science has granted support to LYY for the development of tutoring. In February, work began on the project and many other projects. In 2021, LYY intends to focus especially on the development of operations, e.g. in the field of student welfare.
