In the ongoing dispute about the freedom of masks in class, North Rhine-Westphalia's school minister Yvonne Gebauer (FDP) warned against undue influence on the students. "No pressure may be exerted on the pupils via teachers or school administrators - not even via the local authorities," said Gebauer, commenting on the nationwide abolition of the requirement to wear a mask at the seat.
Düsseldorf - The repeal, which has been in force since November 2, applies to all schools across the country, she confirmed on Wednesday in the school committee of the Düsseldorf state parliament.
The schools are still “a safe place to learn and live”, emphasized the minister.
"There are also infections in schools, but no outbreaks." The SPD opposition emphasized that the measure was wrong and that the warnings of the virologists were ignored in view of the rising number of new corona infections.
