Erfurt (dpa / th) - Even without classroom teaching, prospective teachers in Thuringia can take their exams and teaching samples for the second state examination.

It guarantees that trainee teachers and newcomers can take the necessary exams and teaching samples, said Thuringia's Education Minister Helmut Holter (left) of the German Press Agency.

"We have made sure that the trainee teachers can take their exams so that we can then take them over to the school service," said Holter.

The schools in Thuringia have been closed for weeks.

They should not resume normal full operation until the nationwide number of new infections per week and per 100,000 inhabitants has fallen below the 50 mark again.
