Dispute over changing classes: Education Minister sees no pandemic drivers in schools, philologists’ association contradicts – state policy

The dispute about alternating lessons, distance and the right hygiene measures at schools in Rhineland-Palatinate continues: Education Minister Stefanie Hubig (SPD) emphasized again on Tuesday, “Schools are not drivers of the pandemic,” an expert discussion on Monday evening clearly revealed. But participants in the conversation contradict: Virologists had spoken of increased infections between children and a high number of unreported cases, reported the Philologists Association. The CDU opposition spoke of an “irresponsible” refusal of the minister.
