So now?
Education Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger calls for people to prepare for new school closings in order to protect themselves against a possible wave of infections caused by the Omikron variant.
In this situation, one must “take precautions for the education sector, if Omikron gets bad,” said the FDP politician to the newspapers of the Funke media group.
“We have to prepare ourselves for the design of alternate lessons when it becomes necessary again. We must quickly improve the digital equipment in schools and ensure that the funds from the digital pact flow out more quickly. And we also have to prepare ourselves for the fact that schools may have to be closed – not nationwide, but regionally. “
Nevertheless, open schools should be kept as long as possible. “For me, face-to-face teaching is very important,” emphasizes Bavaria’s Minister of Education, Michael Piazolo.
He speaks to most of those involved, children as well as parents and teachers, from the soul.
