Berlin (dpa) - The chairman of the Conference of Ministers of Education, Britta Ernst, considers the first school opening at the beginning of February to be possible.

"Certainly not completely", the Brandenburg education minister restricted in the "Rheinische Post".

“But I think that if there is a corresponding infection situation, for example with alternating lessons, it is possible.

However, this can initially only apply to final grades and the first grades.

Distance learning over a long period of time is not particularly good for primary school children. "

"No country should have to wait for another to open its schools," said the SPD politician, referring to the very different infection rates in the federal states.

"I think it is right when the countries use the leeway that the resolutions offer them in different ways."

Regarding the question of whether a flaw could stick to Corona degrees, Ernst said: “It will be these graduates who have graduated under very difficult conditions.

You have learned to work even more independently.

It will even help them in later life.

And I hope that the HR departments will also recognize potential applicants as having a special value in this mastering of the crisis.

A diploma from 2020 and 2021 can in future be considered a special distinction, not a flaw. "

In an interview with the newspaper, the SPD politician also spoke out in favor of learning opportunities during the summer holidays.

“I think that's very important.

During the summer holidays, schools should make offers to catch up on learning material that fell by the wayside in distance teaching.

That happened in many federal states last year, »said Ernst.
