The Greens are calling for a guarantee from the federal and state governments for schoolchildren and daycare children in the pandemic.

"As long as schools and daycare centers remain closed, the federal government and the states must agree on a care guarantee," said Green parliamentary leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt WELT.

“For everyone who needs it;

even on a daily basis and without a laborious application process. ”Parents' home office is not an adequate care option -“ and certainly not suitable educational work for the children ”.

On Monday, the culture and education ministers of the federal states will discuss how to proceed beyond January 10, to which the previous lockdown restrictions are limited.

On Tuesday, Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) will decide on the next steps with the Prime Minister.

"The infection figures give little reason to hope that the lockdown can soon be relaxed," said Göring-Eckardt.

"All the more I expect the federal and state governments to agree clearly on Tuesday how things will go on for schools and daycare centers until the summer." Children need education and parents need planning security.

The deliberations would have to clarify how distance and alternating teaching will continue in the next few weeks, from which incidence values ​​schools and daycare centers would open again and what the exams would look like in spring.

"In addition, at least the primary schools must be equipped with air filters as soon as possible so that children can go to school under pandemic protection," said the Greens parliamentary leader.

The technical aid organization and stand builders could help with the installation.

Daycare centers and schools do not have to be closed or opened across the board.

"The schools and the local teachers have learned a lot in the last few months how hybrid forms of face-to-face and distance teaching can be implemented and which offers are better suited for children or better suited for young students," said Göring-Eckardt.

"Schools should be able to use these local opportunities independently in order to provide all students with the best possible education despite the pandemic."
