Education – Frankfurt am Main – Universities start the summer semester with face-to-face classes – Education

Frankfurt/Kassel (dpa/lhe) – The universities in Frankfurt and Kassel want to offer their courses largely in attendance in the summer semester. However, the President of Frankfurt’s Goethe University, Enrico Schleiff, called on the students at a central welcoming ceremony on Thursday to be vaccinated against the corona virus and to continue to wear a mask indoors.

According to a spokesman, the University of Kassel basically ordered a mask requirement indoors. Regular lectures will start at both universities on Monday (April 11). In total, the Goethe University is expecting around 42,000 students, according to its own statements, and Kassel around 22,000. The Frankfurt University had already offered mostly face-to-face classes in the 21/22 winter semester.
