Children need a Corona catch-up package | SPD parliamentary group

Closed daycare centers, schools and leisure facilities hit families particularly hard. The SPD parliamentary group is therefore calling for a corona catch-up package for the young generation.

“Children and adolescents are particularly suffering from the corona pandemic, but it must by no means result in permanent inequality. We couldn’t afford that as a society.

Closed daycare centers, schools and leisure facilities hit families particularly hard. Children and young people need spaces in which they can meet their peers and develop. The SPD parliamentary group is therefore calling for a corona catch-up package for the young generation. Two billion euros for support in schools, child and youth welfare services, Corona breaks, holiday camps and leisure time, as well as affordable holiday offers. The aim is to support families in particular in difficult financial situations – for opportunities to catch up and more participation in society, including through a holiday bonus. We are investing in the future of the young generation and thus in the future of our country. “
