Kyritz reaches heat wave: Schools shorten lessons for students!

The current heat wave does not stop in Ostprignitz-Ruppin and leads to shortening the lessons at several schools. How maz-online.de reports, many lessons will be deleted on July 1 and 2, 2023 to provide the pupils: at temperatures of up to 37 degrees.

Some children were sent home early on Monday. At the Carl-Diercke secondary school in Kyritz, lessons end on Tuesday at 1.30 p.m., while for Wednesday it could possibly be at 11:30 a.m. In many schools, the decisions depend on the local conditions and the room temperature, which means that those responsible have to react flexibly.

Individual decisions of the schools

The decision on the lessons is the responsibility of every school. René Ide, the deputy head of the Jahn-Gymnasium in Kyritz, plans, for example, to finalize the times on Tuesday morning. At other schools such as the Prinz von Homburg School in Neustadt, possible shortening is decided daily. There was no decision in the Astrid Lindgren primary school in Wusterhausen until Monday afternoon.

There are also special regulations at the Goethe primary school in Kyritz and at the Diesterweg elementary school in Wittstock. Here, for example, the lessons are shortened when the room temperature increases above 25 degrees. At the Wilhelm Gentz ​​primary school in Neuruppin, no lessons are even offered from 25 degrees; However, the children are looked after. The Evangelical School in Neuruppin has lessons from the 5th hour and offers care by the after -school care until 1.30 p.m.

regulations in other federal states

As a look across the border shows, there are different regulations regarding heat -free in Germany. According to School Ministry.NRW , school management in North Rhine-Westphalia can allow heat-free if the room temperature is above 27 degrees Celsius. For pupils: inside up to grade 6, premature discharge is possible after consultation with the parents. In the event of health problems, pupils are allowed to leave the lessons early.

In other federal states, such as Lower Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, even regulations for the upper level apply, which can also lead to relief for older students at high temperatures. Furthermore, there is a guideline of 25 degrees in both federal states for an earlier end of the lesson.

The heat wave shows how important it is to take into account the physical conditions in schools. Especially in Schláp̬ and elementary school students, attention is paid to keeping their performance and well-being in mind.

The decision -makers are required to act in the best interest of the students: to act inside and teachers and at the same time to take into account the respective circumstances of the schools. The weather finally has its own head - and we have to react to it.
