Hamburg (dpa / lno) - According to a decision by the Hamburg Administrative Court, schoolchildren are not entitled to unrestricted classroom teaching during the corona pandemic.
The judges rejected an urgent application from an elementary school student on Friday, the court said.
The applicant could not derive a right to full face-to-face tuition either from the Hamburg School Act or from her basic rights, it said.
Hamburg's primary school students are currently being trained in alternating lessons based on the Coronavirus Containment Ordinance.
This is permissible.
The regulation serves the legitimate purpose of slowing the spread of the virus.
The division of classes in the alternating model also corresponds to the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute.
On the other hand, the applicant had not sufficiently credibly demonstrated that the risk of infection from children is so low that schooling in the alternate model may not be necessary.
It is also not apparent that the city could not fulfill its educational mandate in the context of the protective measures, wrongly.
The applicant can lodge a complaint against the decision with the Hamburg Higher Administrative Court.
