A maximum of 50 people inside or 100 people outside: This corona rule also applies to the upcoming certificate awards.
Two Green politicians from the Munich district criticize this regulation.

- When the Abitur certificates are handed out on July 16, the question arises: In what framework is the certificate awarded?
The current Corona regulations stipulate that students may only celebrate their graduation with a maximum of 50 people inside or 100 outside.
Corona rules for awarding certificates: Criticism from the Greens - "Far from reality"
The state parliament members of the Greens, Claudia Köhler from Unterhaching and Markus Büchler from Oberschleißheim, criticize this regulation.
“Can you believe it?” Ask the two of them.
"The gastronomy opens, but school graduation parties still get a lid, far from reality."
Especially the district of Munich "with large schools and a huge number of graduates" is at a disadvantage.
“Although we could offer large venues such as stadiums and cultural centers, school events for young people are still capped,” say Markus Büchler and Claudia Köhler.
Corona in Bavaria: Greens proposal for high school graduation - certificate awarding in the football stadium
The awarding of certificates in shifts would mean “a lot of extra work” for the school administrators, and sometimes “parents and siblings could not celebrate”. It is “unbelievable how the minister of education and the prime minister deal with young people this year too,” say the two Greens. "The whole thing is crowned by the news that the European Football Championship, on the other hand, will allow 14,000 spectators."
In the high schools, however, the Corona requirements from the Ministry of Education and Health are well received.
In response to Claudia Köhler's suggestion that the Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium Unterhaching could hand out the Abitur certificates in the local soccer stadium of the SpVgg and distribute them to more than 100 people in the spacious stands, LMGU director Michaela Trinder says: “No, the students wish that the celebration will take place at the high school.
In the stadium, I would have concerns that the setting would be atmospheric. "
After the Greens criticized the Corona graduation ceremony: Graduates prefer a small celebration at school
It is very important to the Unterhaching headmistress that “the parents can take part in the awarding of certificates”.
To ensure this, the approximately 100 high school graduates are divided into four groups of 25, so that up to three accompanying persons are possible per student.
“We already did that in 2020, and it worked well,” says Trinder.
Armin Eifertinger, director of the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium in Garching, holds the same opinion.
"A high school graduation ceremony is part of the high school, it needs a school atmosphere instead of a stadium atmosphere," he says, giving the green thought games a clear rejection.
"After all, it is a ritual that young people are dismissed from school after eight years of high school."
Certification in times of Corona: "Our students find the regulation very good"
In Garching, the 130 high school graduates are "distributed over three slots", depending on where they live.
The three mayors Dietmar Gruchmann (Garching), Alexander Greulich (Ismaning) and Andreas Kemmelmeyer (Unterföhring) would speak to the students in the respective slot; each student could bring one or two companions outdoors.
“It's a beautiful format outdoors that has already proven itself in 2020,” says Armin Eifertinger.
"And our students think the regulation is great."
The school principals do not share the Greens' tenor that young people have to "wait for relaxation" and the Corona concept for awarding certificates deserve a grade of six - they take the pandemic mode rather loosely and come to terms with it.
