Hamburg (dpa / lno) – Despite the corona-related lifting of compulsory attendance, one in five schoolchildren in Hamburg went to primary school on Tuesday. “Currently 19.98 percent of pupils take part in face-to-face classes in elementary schools, 6.43 percent in district schools, 14.37 percent in special schools and 3.02 percent in high schools,” said Peter Albrecht, spokesman for the school authority, of the German press -Agency. “As expected, that is a slightly higher number of registrations than during the last days before the Christmas holidays.” There was a similar effect in the first lockdown.
The daycare centers in Hamburg were also comparatively well attended at the start of the new year. As Social Senator Melanie Leonhard (SPD) told the dpa, around a third of the children are currently being cared for there. In the days before Christmas, however, it was only 20 percent.
For schools, the abolition of compulsory attendance, originally decided on January 10, had already been extended by one week. In addition, the Senate has not ruled out that there will be no regular classroom teaching in the last two weeks of January. .
