The advance of the Söder government did not go unnoticed in political Berlin either.

Dieter Janecek (The Greens), Bavarian member of the Bundestag, has now commented on the new measure via Twitter.

"Generally speaking, I think the approach to compulsory testing in schools is good," explained Janecek.

However, he directly adds criticism and asks a crucial question: “However, I wonder how the implementation should work five days before the next day of attendance?

Many schools don't have any tests at all yet.

Preparation?"

First report from April 7, 2021:

Munich - The Bavarian Prime Minister Söder announced it together with his Minister of Education, Piazolo (Free Voters) at the press conference in Munich: The corona * test obligation in schools - regardless of the respective incidence value * - is coming.

So a new challenge is ahead for Bavarian schools.

Clear reactions quickly followed.

Not only the obligation to test is criticized, some also consider returning to school after Easter to be completely wrong.

CSU * boss Söder emphasized once again in Munich that the subject of schools continues to enjoy "top priority".

Therefore, the complete closure of schools is no longer an issue in the Free State - despite a path of "caution and reason".

Corona: compulsory testing for Bavarian schools - strong criticism after Söder-PK

In an open letter signed by the Bavarian Parents' Association, among others, the “Education in the Pandemic” working group demanded that the tests should remain voluntary.

The Bavarian Teachers' Association repeated its demand, "If it is not possible to test absolutely safely and the vaccination offers are not available, then the schools have to stay".

The latter was completely ruled out by Minister Piazolo at the press conference in Munich.

You will start as planned after the Easter break.

He defended the testing with the argument that this would keep students in school and thus make education possible.

In addition, testing offers security.

"There is a huge chance that we can test in schools." This will give you more security than before, he explains.

Corona in Bavaria: Schools with new rules - that applies after Easter

For schools in Bavaria, new rules apply after the Easter break (from April 12th).

With an incidence of over 100, distance learning remains - with the exception of the final grades and Q11 as well as the fourth grades of primary schools.

However, after the Easter holidays, a corona test will be mandatory for participation in face-to-face classes - regardless of the respective incidence value.

In future, students, teachers and other school staff will have to be tested for the virus at school at least twice a week.

So far, testing has only been compulsory in regions with an incidence of over 100. Those who refuse the test or have to be quarantined receive distance training.
