In the struggle for suitable infection control measures in schools, the leaders of the Left, SPD and Greens want to meet in a coalition committee this week.
As the German press agency learned from party and parliamentary groups, it should primarily be about the corona test strategy in schools.
Top representatives of the parties and parliamentary groups of Red-Red-Green as well as representatives of the state government are to take part in the meeting, which is currently invited for Wednesday.
Erfurt - There are differences of opinion within the coalition on the test regime in schools.
While the Ministry of Education relies on a graduated test system that does not provide for any unjustified tests at schools in the basic level and is only compulsory in the highest warning level three, the SPD, among other things, is emphatically demanding compulsory testing.
