Loud n-tv he refers to the upcoming education ministers' conference, which serves as a platform for further discussions. It is particularly worth mentioning that Education Minister Simone Oldenburg (Die Linke) is currently ill, which does not make the situation any easier.
The determination of the summer holidays was decided by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK) under the presidency of Britta Ernst, Brandenburg's Minister of Education.
