School principals in Hamburg are also dealing with the consequences of the corona crisis for school children. A study by the social welfare authorities showed serious effects on the psyche of many children and adolescents.
The investigation had shown that children and young people in Hamburg probably suffered particularly badly from the Corona crisis – more than in a nationwide comparison. On Tuesday, the Association of Heads of Hamburg High Schools and Study Seminars (VLHGS) discussed the consequences in an online conference with scientists.
Concerts, sports and school trips
“We have to ask what each individual student needs now,” said Christian Gefert from the Association of High School Heads of School. It should not primarily be about missed learning material. Now activities are needed that strengthen children and young people – that is, school concerts, sports and also class trips.
Practical problems make school trips difficult
However, there are currently many problems with the school trips. The school directors ‘association believes that the school authorities’ requirements have led to great uncertainty. In part, the specifications are unrealistic. For example, students would have to put on their masks when they get up in the morning. Because of the Corona requirements, some schools would prefer not to travel. Classes would have to become class communities again.
