Berlin (dpa / lni) - The Evangelical Gymnasium Nordhorn and the Integrated Comprehensive School (IGS) Lengede have received the German School Prize 2021 Special, endowed with 10,000 euros, for their special digital commitment during the Corona period.
With the special edition of the competition, the Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH and the Heidehof Stiftung GmbH, in cooperation with the ARD and the Zeit Verlagsgruppe, are honoring the best school concepts that emerged during the pandemic.
The high school managed to transfer and even expand its networks in the digital space in lockdown. In the meantime, it is not only networked in its own environment, but also nationally and even internationally, it said in a message on Monday. IGS Lengede in Lower Saxony was already very advanced in its digital development before the outbreak of the pandemic.
«Germany is not where it should be.
The pandemic exposes our weaknesses in the education system.
It has to be different!
But I also know that the pandemic has produced creative strengths: At many schools, school principals have not complained, but have rethought and acted courageously in a very short time.
In this difficult time, many grow beyond themselves in order to be there for their students, ”said Federal President and patron Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
