Munich – According to Minister of Education Michael Piazolo (Free Voters), the increasing Corona* numbers are now causing problems in some schools.

There are "definite bottlenecks in certain areas." That said the free voter politician on Thursday in the education committee of the state parliament.

But that varies greatly from region to region.

"In large areas it can be intercepted well." Elsewhere it is "quite tight".

Overall, however, all classes in more than 90 percent of all schools are still in normal face-to-face classes.

At nine percent of the schools, individual classes are in distance learning.

Corona situation in Bavaria's schools: "Bottlenecks in certain areas" - number of positive tests high

According to the ministry, the PCR pool tests at primary schools are still largely running smoothly.

In well over 90 percent of cases, the pool results are there in the evening and also in well over 90 percent of cases, the individual tests are available the next morning.

The number of positive tests was recently high: in the past week, an average of seven percent of all pool tests were positive.

If this is the case, it must be further investigated which students in the class are corona infected.

Minister of Education Piazolo rejected a lowering of the examination requirements when asked in the education committee.

"Basically" you don't want to lower the performance requirements everywhere.

Because the performance deficits are very unequally distributed: many students have no problems at all.

And for everyone else, we want to build bridges together and help students to achieve the necessary level of performance.

Verdi Munich warns of the collapse of the day-care center - "The system is about to collapse"

Meanwhile, according to the service union Verdi, the situation in the day-care centers is dramatic because of the corona pandemic.

"The system is about to collapse," warned Verdi Munich on Thursday.

The employees are at the end of their strength and early childhood education is falling by the wayside.

Hygiene measures, protection against infection and a lack of staff made child-friendly support almost impossible.

In addition, new tasks are constantly being added, such as asking the children for their test results.

Verdi called for better protection and relief for the staff.

"Otherwise the system will collapse at some point and then there will be no one left to take care of the children," said trade unionist Merle Pisarz.

In Munich alone, at least 200 daycare centers are affected by group closures.

Some facilities in Bavaria are even completely closed.

Corona in Bavaria's daycare centers: Verdi makes demands

The union required ventilation systems for every facility and FFP2 masks for all workers.

In addition, the opening hours would have to be adapted to the available staff.

Verdi also considers the quarantine rules to be counterproductive.

Children could test themselves free after five days, the daycare staff only after seven days.

"Who should look after the children then please?"
