Rostock / Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Representatives of student, parent and teacher associations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have called for the start of school after the Easter holidays to make extensive use of the corona rapid tests.
With their help, infections could be detected quickly, infections prevented and schools prevented from being closed.
It is important that as many children and young people as possible are able to attend face-to-face classes again, said the chairman of the state parents' council, Kai Czerwinskie, on Wednesday in a panel discussion on schools under pandemic conditions.
The broadcasting station Ostseewelle had invited.
With the exception of the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in the northeast, school will start again on Thursday.
According to Education Minister Bettina Martin (SPD), pupils can voluntarily take a test twice a week.
"The more tests, the more face-to-face teaching there will be in schools," she emphasized.
Czerwinskie pointed out that the tests can also be carried out at home, in order to relieve the fear of younger students in particular and to prevent stigmatization.

The participants in the discussion agreed against repeating the school year, which was severely affected by the corona pandemic.
"That would not be fair to all those who tried very hard despite the difficult conditions," said Anton Fischer from the regional school council.
Minister Martin emphasized that anyone who wanted to could repeat the school year.
But the country will also provide additional money for tutoring and learning courses during the holidays.
Maik Walm, chairman of the education union GEW, advocated additional learning opportunities at schools in order to facilitate access and not restrict the students' leisure time too much.
As a consequence of the experience with teaching material under pandemic conditions, he called for the framework plans to be detoxified.
It is important to teach the children skills to find their way around the world and to acquire knowledge independently.
In addition, it is important to quickly remedy the deficits in the equipment of schools that have become apparent during the pandemic.
