The Pliening Primary School can now offer a laptop for homeschooling for every student.
This is made possible by a donation from the private sector.
Now all 220 pupils at Pliening Primary School actually have a laptop for homeschooling: The Interhyp Group donated 30 laptops to the school, worth around 8,000 euros.
As headmistress Kathrin Dung said, the contact was made through parents on the Schlittenberg.
Interhyp employee Silvia Paulick, whose daughters are in elementary school, has now handed over the laptops.
Pliening: 220 students in homeschooling
As the Interhyp Group reports, the computers from the company's own inventory are around a year old and in very good condition.
For the students they have been professionally set up again.
"With immediate effect, they will be given to all larger families to whom the school was initially only able to provide one loaner per household," informs Interhyp.
According to its own information, the company is Germany's largest broker of private mortgage lending.
Company supports elementary school
As reported, with the support of committed and IT-savvy parents, the Pliening primary school developed a new concept for well-functioning and meaningful digital learning in distance learning in autumn 2020.
This has been implemented since January.
As headmistress Katrin Dung emphasizes, the digital skills the children have learned should be further strengthened even after the pandemic: “On Fridays there is no homework at our school, but independent study time.
We would like to expand this with materials that are individually tailored to the children.
The children will still need a laptop or tablet for this - thanks to the donation from the Interhyp Group, this is now possible ”, thanks the Rector.
Even if the primary school in Corona times does everything to enable the students to do homeschooling as much as possible, this has so far failed because not all families had enough end devices.
Dung: “We support such families with existing laptops as loan devices.
However, our inventory is not sufficient to enable all of our 220 students to take part in distance learning. ”Now this is possible.
