Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) – The Baden-Württemberg schools have to prepare for a difficult start to the new school year, also from the point of view of Minister of Education Theresa Schopper. “Honestly, my worry lines haven’t changed very much,” said the Green Minister on Thursday in Stuttgart. Not only will the number of Ukrainian refugee children continue to increase, teachers will also continue to belong to the corona risk groups or will become pregnant during the school year. “Unfortunately, the challenges will not be any less this school year,” said Schopper.
The Minister of Education continued to assure that the new school year would begin “without a mask, without tests”. The number of vaccinated children and young people has increased significantly, and the vaccination rate is also high in the teaching staff. “We can start the school year normally.”
