Schools in Austria should reopen next Monday. According to the director of education for Lower Austria, Johann Heuras, the lessons will be a little different.
In six days it will finally be ready! On Monday, December 7, classes are scheduled to take place again at many schools. Some teacher reps don’t like this at all and are already sounding the alarm. Already in the spring and fall, the school administration did very little for the safety of teachers and students.
According to Thomas Krebs, representative of compulsory school teachers, a safety concept is lacking and more disinfectant sprays and FFP2 masks are urgently needed. Also, after the upcoming corona tests for teachers, it is not clear that only a few colleagues are absent due to quarantine. In some schools, therefore, one will “reach the limits.”
Johann Heuras, education director for Lower Austria, cannot completely agree with cancer. According to Heuras, the state’s schools are ready for the start. Even if teachers test positive for the virus.
Students must intervene
“This is a flexible use of resources. We have assembled a group of students. These would be called and used in schools,” Heuras said in the morning newspaper Ö1 on Tuesday. We are talking about 150 to 200 students who “can cover a lot when the need is great.”
The Lower Austrian director of education can also ensure that lessons can be “carried out normally” and that “resources are available”. Can not understand criticism of teacher representatives. “We have prepared for such an operation. This is about the mask requirement and there will be enough FFP2 masks available for teachers.”
And furthermore: “In recent days I have not heard any criticism of missing masks. At least in Lower Austria, I cannot accept criticism.” In the past there were “delays or delivery problems”, but teachers were seen “if there was a shortage”.
Student mix “absolutely avoid”
Compared to the morning newspaper Ö1, Heuras also made it clear that one should absolutely avoid mixing students up. You will have to do without certain things in class. According to Heuras, there will be no teamwork in the schools. “Any type of thinning is welcome,” said the Director of Education.
Heuras welcomes the proposal to teach not only in the classroom, but also in other (larger) rooms. “I think this is a good solution where it is possible to use other rooms.” However, according to the director of education, the framework conditions must be met. “It doesn’t work everywhere.”
Tomorrow, Wednesday (December 2), the government plans to present the schedule of the initial steps after the hard blockade.
