Heat wave in Lübeck: Schools cancel heat -free for students!

Heat wave in Lübeck: Schools cancel heat -free for students!

Lübeck, Deutschland - The upcoming temperatures on July 2 provide excitement among schoolchildren and parents in Lübeck. With up to 37 degrees Celsius in the Lauenburg and 36 degrees in Lübeck, a real heat wave is expected. "Heat -free!" It is now called for many and the students can hope for a little relief. Dörte de Graaf, the deputy spokeswoman for the Ministry of Education in Kiel, emphasizes that the school management is free to decide whether and how the lessons are carried out in exceptional weather conditions. This regulation concerns all school types and grades, and the Ministry of Education ensures that parents are informed in good time.

What happens in schools? At high schools, for example the Johanneum in Lübeck, the lessons are shortened using a "Sahara plan". The lessons are reduced from 45 to 30 minutes in order to enable the students to dismiss earlier, while no subjects are neglected. The Lauenburg Seen Community School has already decided to give heat -free, while other schools will make their decisions at short notice.

heat -free and its rules

But what about heat -free? There is no legal right to this, explains school councilor Stefan Beeg. Lessons can also take place in the shade, but the premature home is not always possible. Various regulations also apply in many federal states. For example, in Lower Saxony, high school students are now also granted heat-free, which is usually not the case in other federal states, such as North Rhine-Westphalia. School ministries in several federal states have introduced guidelines, with the decision ultimately lying on the school management. Room temperatures above 27 degrees Celsius are often the yardstick for the allocation of heat -free.

For the basic and secondary levels, special regulations must be observed: In many cases, students in classes 5 and 6 may only leave the classroom after consultation with the parents before the regular classroom, while students of the upper level (secondary level II) are often excluded from these regulations. In the secondary level, class work should not be held during extreme heat to avoid health risks.

regional regulations

These diverse regulations are not the same everywhere. In federal states such as Baden-Württemberg and Brandenburg, the heat-free starts from 25 degrees, in Hamburg from 27 degrees. In Saxony-Anhalt, heat-free is granted from 26 degrees at 11 a.m., while in other federal states, including Schleswig-Holstein, large freedom is granted. To do this, the decision is made by those responsible on site.

summarized it should be noted that each school location in northern Germany can act individually when it comes to the well -being of the students in the event of pressing heat. The anticipation for heat -free increases, and with a well -considered regulation, everyone involved can get through the heat well.
