Ministry of EducationStudents and teachers will be able to get tested in schools

RTL Today
Pupils and teaching staff will be able to benefit from tests directly in schools, which will also be able to authorise quarantines themselves.

Minister of Education Claude Meisch provided further details in an interview with RTL on Friday morning.

After an exchange with several actors in the field, an agreement has been reached with the Ministry of Health on these changes which will take effect from next week.

In Scenario 1, which is equivalent to a class with one infected individual but whose other students continue to come to school, all pupils will be tested after six days.

In addition, the Ministry is considering imposing a partial remote-learning course on higher classes in secondary schools.

Schools were already able to use this solution, but none of the principals made use of it before the holidays, even though it is apparent that this age group is particularly affected by the presence of the virus.
