No face-to-face tuition, “restrictive” implementation of the measures: Federal and state resolutions on schools and day care centers don’t really leave questions unanswered. Many federal states still go their own way. An overview.
Now it has become almost routine: as soon as federal-state resolutions are on the table, the prime ministers announce why some of the measures that have just been decided in the group will not be implemented at all, only a little or in a way. different. The same thing happened on Tuesday night.
Made the start Baden-Württemberg Winfried Kretschmann, Green Prime Minister. He announced that elementary schools and nurseries will be open starting February 1. Even if you restricted it: gradually, carefully and only “if the infection situation allows it”.
The federal and state governments had just laboriously agreed to a restrictive implementation of the old resolution, according to which compulsory school attendance should be suspended until February 14.
And other countries plan their schools and nurseries differently than what was decided with Chancellor Merkel. Education is a state matter, so the influence of the federal government is limited to appeals and warnings.
The federal states also receive support for a less restrictive course from the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK). Its president, Britta Ernst from Brandenburg, welcomed the fact that classroom classes were still possible for graduation classes, despite the fact that the school had been closed longer. Individual countries are justified in proceeding differently depending on the number of infections, according to the SPD politician.
These are the plans of some countries, not all have been positioned so far.
Lower saxony exempts elementary school students from compulsory classroom attendance until February 14. Specifically, this means that primary school students will continue to receive split classes at home and alternately in schools, explained Prime Minister Stephan Weil and Minister of Education Grant Hendrik Tonne (both SPD). Lower Saxony schools will continue to function as before, even after federal-state consultations on Tuesday.
Parents of elementary school students have the opportunity to withdraw their children from face-to-face classes using a form. Tonne emphasized that the decision is unique and cannot be changed on a daily basis. So if you take your child out of the classroom to teach, do so for the entire duration of the extended lockdown.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) came out at the federal-state meeting as a particularly vehement critic of the rules for kindergartens and schools, and later emphasized this. Regulations for students are strict enough and shouldn’t be tightened any further, Schwesig said. Ed. If the incidence value is less than 50, the first steps should be taken in day care centers and schools.
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, all young people from grade 7 onwards are in distance education, the only exceptions being the final grades. Compulsory attendance for elementary schools has been eliminated. Parents are asked to send their children to school only in an emergency.
Bayern let his students from the last classes and the Abitur go back to school from February 1. Thereafter, alternate classes should take place for these years at appropriate intervals, Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) said after a cabinet meeting in Munich. This is justified because it only affects a small proportion of students. However, restricted: this depends on the infection process. If the numbers go back up sharply, “it won’t work.”
Elementary schools in Rhineland-Palatinate You must go to alternate classes starting February 1. However, the duty to be present remains suspended, Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) said in Mainz. In all other grades, distance learning will continue until February 14. If the situation permits, alternate lessons with fifth graders are also planned.
Hamburg tightens the rules for schools and day care centers in accordance with federal-state resolutions. The Senate decided that still existing classroom instruction in schools should be significantly restricted until February 14. “Educational care” for children in schools should only be provided to parents who have no other choice of care. Schools in which there has been a high enrollment rate so far should “actively” reach out to parents. Beginning January 25, day care centers will offer “extended emergency care” instead of the above “limited regular care”. The number of children who are brought to daycare will be significantly reduced.
The one particularly affected by the corona pandemic Saxony adheres to their rule of offering face-to-face lessons for high school students. Students should “have the opportunity to carefully prepare for their final exams,” Education Minister Christian Piwarz (CDU) said after a cabinet meeting in Dresden. Other decisions for schools and nurseries should follow “with the new Corona Protection Ordinance next week.” He hopes very much “that we can reopen nurseries and schools at least in limited regular operations in February; the sooner the better, but always with an eye on the infection process.”
