Higher violence: The Education and Science Union (GEW) does not want to leave participants of a protest rally standing in the heavy rain. A demonstration planned for Monday afternoon in front of the Saxon state parliament was postponed for safety reasons. This is due to current warnings of thunderstorms, heavy rain and gusts of wind, the GEW announced.
GEW: Safety of all involved comes first
"The situation does not appear dramatic, but unpredictable. As the safety of everyone involved comes first, it was with a heavy heart that we decided to take this step," explained GEW Chairman Burkhard Naumann. The demonstration was planned for Childcare Day. The head of the GEW said that Saxony has the second worst staffing ratio for daycare centers in Germany. For the nursery teachers, this means above all self-sacrifice.
