Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - After the planned opening of daycare centers and elementary schools on February 22nd, from the point of view of the Greens parliamentary group leader Andreas Schwarz, it will soon be the turn of the secondary schools.
"The secondary schools are still before the other openings for me," said Schwarz on Thursday of the German press agency in Stuttgart.
This means that schools from grade 5 onwards would have priority over the retail sector when easing the corona lockdown.
However, the Green politician did not want to commit to a specific date and a guideline for the opening.
"I would rather observe the next few weeks and look at the development of the infection process."
The federal and state governments agreed on Wednesday that the states could decide independently about opening daycare centers and schools.
Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) had then declared that daycare centers and primary schools could reopen after the carnival week on February 22, if the infection numbers allow.
In addition, hairdressers nationwide will be allowed to reopen from March 1st
Otherwise, it was agreed that countries can gradually relax if the seven-day incidence of new infections has steadily fallen below 35 by March 7.
Then retail, museums and businesses with body-friendly services should reopen.
The Green parliamentary group leader suggested that the opening of primary schools should be well evaluated.
«Has it worked or not?
Then we can decide the specific time for the secondary schools. "
Education Minister Susanne Eisenmann (CDU) had already stated that the pupils from grade 5 should soon gradually return to face-to-face classes.
Her spokesman said: "In the future, in the next step, face-to-face teaching should also be aimed at in the secondary schools in an alternating model - provided that the infection process permits."
