Potsdam (AP) - The President of the Conference of Ministers of Education (KMK), Brandenburg's Minister of Education Britta Ernst (SPD), pleads for easing the situation for schools in the corona pandemic.
«We would like to see some easing in school operations.
Whether that will be February 14, a week or two later, cannot be said at the moment, ”she said on Deutschlandfunk.
The lockdown to contain the corona pandemic is currently limited to February 14th.
On Wednesday, the federal and state governments want to talk to Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) about how to proceed.
Ernst said a hard lockdown is incompatible with some learning opportunities.
Systematic support for the students is urgently needed.
She sees the long period of closure as very problematic, especially for primary school students.
In order to compensate for learning gaps and backlogs that would arise from Corona operation, the federal states are in the process of developing appropriate concepts.
“A bit of an Easter holiday offer” is absolutely not enough, stressed the KMK president.
For additional learning opportunities, they are in contact with Federal Education Minister Anja Karliczek (CDU), who has signaled her support.
The KMK expects more from the federal government, "more offers, more money, more support, above all in the extracurricular area, where the federal government could be active," said Ernst.
