Live: Education Minister Tonne presents plans to start school | NDR.de – Nachrichten – Lower Saxony

How does school start in Lower Saxony after the autumn holidays? Culture Minister Grant Hendrik Tonne (SPD) presents the plans today. From 12 noon live on NDR.de.

Tonne said in an interview with NDR 1 Lower Saxony that he is sticking to the goal of offering maximum teaching in the classroom after the fall break. There are also no plans to restrict the operations of the daycare. Cuts like spring should only be the last in the education and care system. The education minister also made it clear that the crown’s situation was being monitored and that measures would be adjusted if necessary. Information on the implementation of the Lower Saxony Crown Ordinance, which was sent to municipalities on Thursday, provides for the use of masks for a limited time in class, for example. Another point is the possible restriction or prohibition of physical education or full-time offers, as detailed in the letter.

Parish Association Appeals to Parents for Tolerance

The Lower Saxony Association of Cities and Municipalities welcomed the decision to keep schools and nurseries as open as possible. Spokesperson Thorsten Bullerdiek asked parents for their understanding if everything shouldn’t go the way it did before the Corona crisis. In the case of school transport, for example, the number of buses and drivers cannot be increased any further. The State Council of Parents is critical of the Minister’s plans. Regular ventilation in classrooms and warm clothing for students could not be the answer to the new increase in the number of corona infections, according to the parent representative committee.

No subsequent press conference on the Corona regulation

In addition to the lesson plans under current Corona conditions, the new Corona regulation was originally due Thursday afternoon. This part of the press conference is canceled for organizational reasons, as announced by a government spokeswoman on Wednesday night.
