More school openings and a higher incidence value for distance teaching - this is what Minister of Education Michael Piazolo has spoken out in favor of.
Update from April 26th, 2:50 p.m.:
The Bavarian Philological Association has now also commented on Michael Piazolo's wish to set a higher incidence value for distance teaching (
see first report from April 26, 11.25 a.m.
). "Of course, face-to-face teaching is the goal and we hope that everyone will be able to return to the classroom this school year," said chairman Michael Schwägerl. However, more school openings must always go hand in hand with more health protection. Only a small proportion of the teachers in secondary schools have so far received a primary vaccination, and very few have complete protection. "Therefore, the Bavarian step-by-step plan with a limit value of 100 has to stay with the incidence, and the vaccinations of teachers have to be expanded."
In addition to the CSU, other parties have now expressed their skepticism towards Piazolo's proposal.
“That is another curiosity.
Even with the free voters, there is apparently no longer any perspective.
Actually a piece from the madhouse, ”said SPD parliamentary group leader Horst Arnold.
He criticized the fact that the Free Voters took legal action against the federal rules, but at the same time demanded them for Bavaria.
“The incidence value is not the gold standard for safe school openings.
Instead of fighting over two arbitrarily chosen limit values, the Bavarian state government should finally do its homework on the really relevant security issues, "said the education policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group in the state parliament, Matthias Fischbach, according to the
German press agency
.
Corona course change in schools?
Piazolo wants to collect Bavaria's exceptional rule - CSU veto follows promptly
Update from April 26th, 1:20 pm:
When it comes to “school openings”, there is noise in the Bavarian coalition.
Education Minister Michael Piazolo (Free Voters) had
spoken
out against
Münchner Merkur
for an increase in the incidence value from which students have to switch to distance learning (
see first report
).
"That is the goal of the free voters when the Bavarian regulation expires on May 9th," he added to the
German press agency
with a view to the Bavarian corona regulation, which was limited to date.
He is assuming that the coalition partner would like this too, "because the CSU has agreed to the federal emergency brake".
"Distance teaching applies in Bavaria from an incidence of 100 - and we are sticking to it," said State Chancellor Florian Herrmann immediately rejecting the suggestion.
The state government is sticking to the tried and tested rules that better protect students, teachers and families.
"The course of prudence and caution currently does not allow anything else."
Piazolo sees it differently.
"By obliging the schools to test, we are creating more security," he emphasized.
Corona course change in schools?
Piazolo wants to collect Bavaria's exceptional rule from the federal emergency brake
First report from April 26th, 11.25
a.m .
:
Munich - Minister of Education Michael Piazolo (FW) wants to campaign for more school openings.
In an interview with
Münchner Merkur
, the minister suggests that the incidence value from which students have to switch to distance learning should be increased from 100 to 165
.
The Corona emergency brake also provides for this value at the federal level.
“We have more masks, we have tests, now it's about bringing more classes into the schools!” Said Piazolo.
If students went to school, they would also be tested, "if you stay at home, infections also remain undetected".
For example, the 5th, 6th and 7th grades urgently need to go back to school.
Corona in Bavaria: School openings are also an issue in the Bavarian cabinet
The school openings should also be a topic in the Bavarian cabinet on Tuesday (April 27).
According to the figures from the Robert Koch Institute from Monday (April 26th), an incidence value of 165 would mean that at least alternate classes would be allowed in 39 rural districts and urban districts.
Only five districts in Bavaria currently have an incidence * of less than 100, including the districts of Starnberg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The Free Voters State Board is also campaigning for the nurseries to be opened quickly.
“We get so many calls for help - especially from nurseries.
We know that there are no virus sources there ”, FW boss Hubert Aiwanger is quoted in a press release.

Meanwhile, a former federal hotspot in Bavaria is surprising with a low incidence.
