Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - North Rhine-Westphalia's School Minister Yvonne Gebauer (FDP) initially wants to consult with many stakeholders on the concrete implementation of the distance teaching in schools, which will be extended until mid-February.

You are looking for an exchange with the education ministers of the states as well as associations and school authorities, said Gebauer on Wednesday in the school committee of the state parliament.

It must be advised “wisely and with all stakeholders”.

She will also coordinate with the neighboring states of North Rhine-Westphalia.

On Wednesday, the subject of schools is also on the agenda in the state cabinet.

In addition, the culture ministers of the federal states continued their deliberations on Wednesday.

Regulations on final and Abitur exams should also be made by consensus among the ministers of education, said Gebauer.

With a view to the mutated corona virus, "another period of caution" is now needed, said Gebauer.

The schools in North Rhine-Westphalia are now "significantly further" in distance teaching than at the first lockdown in March of last year.

The federal and state governments decided on Tuesday evening that daycare centers and schools would remain closed until February 14th or that attendance would be suspended.

The opposition Greens asked Gebauer in the plenary next week to inform the state parliament on the question of distance teaching.

"We must now sound out all options," said the Green MP Sigrid Beer.

The SPD school expert Jochen Ott said: "Many families are at the limit."
