Because of Corona, lessons at schools in Hesse are to be held in digital form as far as possible.

But the start of school is more than bumpy.

  • Due to the

    Corona *

    lockdown,

    there will be no

    classroom teaching

    until the end of January.

  • At many

    schools

    in

    Hessen

    there is

    chaos in digital lessons

    after school starts in the new year

    .

  • The education union GEW criticizes the

    lack of technical equipment

    .

Kassel / Wiesbaden - During the current lockdown, the

schools

in

Hesse are

reaching their limits.

At the start of school in 2021, there is chaos in the implementation of teaching under the current

Corona conditions

at some educational institutions

.

Lessons began on Monday, January 11th, 2021.

According to a report by the

German Press Agency (dpa)

, there are

problems with the implementation of digital

lessons five days after lessons have been resumed during the

corona lockdown

at some schools in

Hesse

.

The

education union GEW

speaks of a "mess", since the digital teaching from the seventh grade does not work properly and some

schools are

not equipped with the necessary technical devices.

Responsible for this chaos is the lack of efficiency and the instability of the Hessian school portal.

Corona in Hessen: Digital lessons in schools - differences in technical equipment

However, the

Ministry of Culture

sees

Hesse

The situation was completely different: "The feedback was that, apart from minor start-up problems when logging into the school portal, the situation at the 

schools was

 very good," said a spokesman.

In addition, the Ministry is very satisfied with the response to the face-to-face teaching.

Parents of students in grades one to six can freely choose whether to send their children to school - 18 percent accepted this offer.

It shows that the parents are

dealing

responsibly

with the current

corona situation

However, the

differences in technical equipment

between primary and secondary

schools

are particularly striking

.

The example of the Adolf Reichwein School in Rodenbach in the Main-Kinzig district shows that the secondary level has significantly better digital equipment than the primary school.

There is also the option of teaching via video transmission.

Schools in Hesse in corona lockdown: mandatory attendance suspended for the time being

Since the

state government

has decided

to suspend

classes in

schools as

far as possible until the end of January

due to the

corona pandemic

,

the attendance requirement for the students no longer applies.

However, it is still possible to go to school if parents cannot look after their children at home.

With the exception of final classes, older students are generally taught digitally.
