Teachers' count in NRW predicted to reach at least a two-week threshold

After a careful consideration, NRW Education Minister Yvonne Gebauer has decided to send students back to distance learning for a week after the Easter holidays. This decision applies to all students except for graduating classes, a move aimed at managing COVID-19 infection rates and ensuring the safety of the students and staff.

The Rheinische Post reported this decision in its Friday edition, with Yvonne Gebauer justifying it with delivery problems with tests. However, no specific information about these delivery problems was provided.

Andreas Bartsch, president of the NRW Teachers' Association, shares similar concerns. He believes that the undelivered tests likely played a significant role in the decision. Bartsch, however, doubts that delivery problems with tests were the sole reason for the decision, suggesting that an external effect might also be at play. He refers to the Minister-President's demand for a comprehensive bridge lockdown, finding it strange that schools are left out of this measure.

Bartsch, like many educators, views schools as an integral part of society. He advocates for a shift system, believing that it could have been feasible if everything had been properly prepared. However, he acknowledges that schools in NRW are currently preparing for a longer period of distance learning.

Schools are expected to be in distance learning mode for at least two to three weeks, according to Yvonne Gebauer's assumptions. As the situation evolves, schools will continue to adapt and adjust their learning formats to best serve the needs of their students.

For the most current and detailed information on this topic, it is recommended to consult recent news sources from NRW or official statements from the NRW Ministry of Education and the NRW Teachers' Association.
