Actually, it should start after the summer vacation 2020 at the latest: The federal government made more than 500 million euros available for the so-called “immediate terminal device program”.
The money should be used to pay for laptops and tablet computers, which can be loaned to students throughout Germany so that they can continue to study in the event of another lockdown.
It is now clear: whether students from lower-income families whose parents cannot afford a computer for their children can attend classes in the second lockdown depends on where they live.
