Schools – Düsseldorf – halving the school classes? NRW Minister Stamp is against it – education

Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) – The federal government’s plans to tighten corona measures at schools are rejected by North Rhine-Westphalia’s Vice-Prime Minister Joachim Stamp (FDP). On Monday night it became known that, according to the federal government, schools should remain open, but the classes should be relocated to large rooms or halved – this should reduce the risk of infection. According to Family Minister Joachim Stamp (FDP), such requirements cannot be implemented because they would increase the need for personnel. According to the Liberal, the Federal Chancellery is not a coalition partner of the state FDP. “This passage cannot be decided.”

The states have a responsibility, stressed Stamp and added with a view to talks between Berlin and the state ministers on Monday afternoon. “I cannot imagine that the prime ministers will decide something that can only be implemented if we cancel around half of the lessons.”

According to Stamp, there is no staff to divide the classes in half and alternately teach in schools and learn at home. “Where do the double teachers for this proposal come from?” He asked on Twitter on Monday morning. “How far is the Federal Chancellery from our children and families?”

Stamp emphasized that teachers were needed for digital teaching. You could give the students homework for a week at home. “Without supervision, however, the children will miss the boat whose parents cannot afford it or who are employed,” said the FDP politician.
