Erfurt (dpa / th) - The Greens parliamentary group leader and education politician Astrid Rothe-Beinlich has urged the rapid development of tutoring offers during the holidays.

"There is not much time left until the new school year begins," said Rothe-Beinlich on Wednesday.

Thuringia's Minister of Education, Helmut Holter (left), has not yet presented any concrete plans on how to make up for learning backlogs among students due to the temporarily restricted operation of schools in the corona pandemic.

Rothe-Beinlich called for private tutoring institutes to be included.

Additional human resources are also required for schools.

Therefore, recourse should also be made to student teachers, volunteer and retired teachers.

The background is a catch-up program totaling two billion euros that the federal government launched on Wednesday.

One billion euros is earmarked for tutoring and support programs for students who have to catch up with learning delays.

Another billion euros are to be invested in social measures in order to cushion the psychological consequences of the crisis for children and young people.

The program had long been announced.
