The teachers in Bavaria are at their limit.

Associations complain about the inadequate corona concepts in schools.

Now contact Markus Söder directly.

Munich - For weeks teachers and students have been commuting between alternating and distance lessons.

Tied to the current incidence values ​​*, the situation for those affected can change from week to week.

A stress test for everyone involved.

The Bavarian Teachers' Association (BLLV) is now enough.

Following his regional committee on March 19, he formulated an emergency resolution with three demands.

They have now sent this to Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU).

Corona: BLLV teachers' association calls for vaccinations for all teachers

The BLLV writes in a fire letter to the regional chief: “That's enough!

We have a massive overload of colleagues who do everything to enable the children and young people to have the best possible educational opportunities in these difficult times.

Here at least health protection on the part of the employer must have top priority.

That should actually be a matter of course! ”The 66,000 members of the FSVO no longer want to be put at ease by mere announcements, it continues.

As a first point, the FSVO calls for the vaccination * of "all teachers of all types of schools".

If the state did not offer vaccinations for teachers by the end of the Easter holidays, then the unvaccinated educators would go back to distance learning.

The justification of the state government from the cabinet meeting on March 16, "In the pandemic year 2020, lessons without vaccination were possible" left the BLLV stunned.

You emphasize once again that a vaccination * must come before an opening.

Fire letter to Söder: Better test strategy in schools required

Second, the BLLV takes up the test strategy of the Ministry of Culture.

We welcome the opportunity to carry out regular tests * in schools.

However, these should be carried out under the guidance of qualified personnel and, if possible, at home by the parents.

“It can't be that we have to serve for that too!” It says in the fire letter.

Neither the health protection of teachers and students nor the personal rights of children and adolescents are guaranteed in the event of a positive test case.

“We cannot bear this responsibility!

We don't need more stress, we finally need relief! "

This is also how the Working Group of Bavarian Teachers' Associations sees it.

In a current press release, she writes: "Opening schools without appropriately controllable test strategies or adequate vaccination offers as test laboratories in the middle of the beginning third wave and with incidence values ​​above 100 is tantamount to an oath of disclosure." They also demand that children from their parents are to be tested before attending school, so they cannot infect other children on the way to school.

"Classrooms are not test centers, teachers are not medical staff and supervision without assistance is not feasible for the youngest students anyway."

Corona: fourth grade students should go to school despite high incidence values ​​(video)

Corona: This year, a transfer certificate should be dispensed with

The last point that the FSVO takes up is educational equity.

They are primarily concerned with the fourth grade children.

“The

decision

you (

the state government, editor's note

) announced

last week

to declare the fourth grades as final classes is a pedagogical declaration of bankruptcy!” Due to the high pressure to perform for children in the transition year, the FSVO recommends offering counseling for parents instead of issuing certificates of transfer.

"We also demand the offer of a voluntary and individual support year for schoolchildren who need and want it!"

State Chancellor Florian Herrmann (CSU): "Issuing ultimatums is a bad style and seems to me to be a lot under-complex".

Least of all, you do not put them in front of your own employer.

Fleischmann indirectly propagates compulsory vaccination for all teachers.

"But we reject compulsory vaccination." Teachers are "privileged" because there are sophisticated hygiene concepts in the classrooms.

In comparison, police officers are exposed to more hardship.

The state government is also sticking to the classification of the 4th grade as “final class” and the self-testing of the students in the classroom (instead of at home).
