Dresden (dpa / sn) – The Greens have proposed a digital round table for schools and day care centers in the Corona crisis. It is about showing perspectives and getting planning security and acceptance, said the member of the state parliament, Christin Melcher. “The virus and the dynamic of the infections are forcing us to drive on sight. Nevertheless, we need answers together and a perspective on how we want to deal with the school year in view of the situation.” You need clarity on how to deal with the subject canon, the timetable and the final exams in the coming year. Furthermore, effective test and protection concepts are required.
“Participation creates acceptance,” emphasized Melcher, the spokesperson for education policy for the Green parliamentary group. That is why her party suggests that parent and student representatives, trade unions, and daycare and teacher associations should be involved in all pending decisions. A suitable format for this could be a virtual round table under the direction of the Ministry of Culture. The measures must be pragmatic and practicable.
Schoolchildren, teachers and educators have been doing excellent things for months, praised the politician. “You now need security, concrete recommendations for action and a long-term strategy.”
The Ministry of Education announced that a kind of virtual round table was already planned for Monday afternoon. Minister Christian Piwarz (CDU) wanted to get a picture of the mood before the cabinet meeting on Tuesday and invited numerous stakeholders to a video conference. This affects, among other things, the Education and Science Union, the Saxon Teachers ‘Association, the State Parents’ Council and State Schools Council and representatives of independent schools.
The AfD parliamentary group demanded that daycare centers and schools be opened immediately on Monday. “It is irresponsible to put an entire country and its economy permanently into an artificial coma,” said party and parliamentary group leader Jörg Urban. Children need social and educational care and their parents cannot be absent from work for months.
