There are still a week and a half until the end of the vacation.
But it is already becoming apparent that not all students will be going back to school from January 11th.
Minister of Culture Piazolo is under pressure after the collapse of the Mebis learning platform.
Therefore, after the Corona * lockdown, he wants to rely on a mixture of face-to-face and distance teaching.
Especially the youngest should come to school.
Munich
- A look at
Baden-Württemberg
: There, Minister of Culture Susanne Eisenmann (CDU) has ventured far.
"I assume and advertising very fact that we
kindergartens
and
primary schools
in every case in
presence
open and grades 5, 6 and 7 and the final year in view have - regardless of the
incidence figures
," the CDU politician said on Monday (December 28th).
Corona: Minister of Culture Piazolo is under pressure because of the Mebis learning platform
Her colleague in
Bavaria would
never go that
far
.
Education Minister
Michael Piazolo
(FW) is careful.
"We have a clear second
lockdown,
" he tells the
Münchner Merkur
.
He faces difficult weeks in January.
The ministerial learning platform
Mebis was in December
collapsed several times under the load of accesses.
As the
Ministry of Culture
now announced, only one eighth of the students used the platform at all.
The CSU, above all Prime Minister
Markus Söder *
, has made it clear that they will
insist
on smooth
computer lessons
from January 11th
.
The Greens are also pushing for “a timetable” for further school operations to be presented as soon as possible.
"Cornerstones" have to be determined, says the Greens education politician Gabriele Triebel.
Piazolo,
however, is in a conflict: If all 1.6 million Bavarian schoolchildren were
to
stay
at home
in
class
on January 11,
the system would
almost certainly collapse again
despite the further upgrade of
Mebis
over Christmas
.
Therefore,
Piazolo rules out
an extension of the holidays, as
requested by
the German Child Protection Association.
"
We don't need to
extend the vacation
."
Piazolo assumes a hybrid form of face-to-face and distance teaching
However, it keeps the minister also impossible, all the children back to the
school
to send.
“
I think that
face-to-face lessons
for everyone on January 11th are unlikely.” There will certainly be a mixture of
alternating and distance lessons
.
Piazolo
no longer
wants to rely
on
Mebis
alone
.
“It's just a tool.” Despite load tests over Christmas, “you can never rule out that it jerks”.
As a precaution,
Piazolo
appeals
(as in December) to the school management to organize staggered use.
The first classes could
use
Mebis
from 8 a.m., the next from 9 a.m.
, there will also be guidelines, says
Piazolo
to
Merkur
.
It is still difficult to predict which classes should stay at home from January 11th - and where, for example, classes can be halved and returned to
schools
every day.
It is clear, says
Piazolo
, that the primary schools will be the first to open.
“Younger students are less able to study independently at home.”
Piazolo
also has the fourth grade
in mind.
For them there will be
transfer certificates
on May 3rd
.
Usually, an average grade - 2.33 or better is enough for high school - determines which type of school the child is allowed to attend.
In
the corona pandemic *
,
Piazolo
also
rejects requests from the Bavarian Teachers' Association (BLLV) to give priority to parents' and teachers' opinions this time
.
“We want to stick to the usual procedure.” Most
elementary schools
have had
face-
to-
face classes
and written rehearsals
up to now
.
In
Baden-Württemberg
, Minister of Education Eisenmann is exposed to attacks on social media after her frank announcement.
The Twitter hashtag # EisenmannRücktritt made the rounds nationwide.
That was also
registered
in
Bavaria
.
In any case, the minister would like to avoid the hashtag # Piazolo resignation from January 11th.
