Getting Back to Learning: 1,200 Erkrath Students Turn to Home Computers Following School Fire
Classroom instruction halted for 1,200 students due to school blaze - Learning transitioned to online format for over a thousand students due to school fire incident
Let's face it, a fire in two schools is a bummer. But here's the scoop: after the fiery mishap in Erkrath, near Düsseldorf, approximately 1,200 students are temporarily switching to home-based learning. Fear not! They're snagging alternative classrooms in Düsseldorf, though they'll need a bit of prep work before the students take over. The cities have confirmed the locations – they're repurposed classrooms from a gymnasium that moved into a swanky new building.
Mark your calendars for May 26, when in-person learning will once again grace the classrooms of the nearly 500 students from the destroyed secondary school and around 700 students from the demolished Erkrath school complex gymnasium. Initially, they'll have 45 fully-stocked classrooms to call their own. School buses, which can't all roll at the same time, mean that some classes might kick-off at 9 a.m.
After summer vacation, the Erkrath students will enjoy a grand total of 70 classrooms, as the secondary school from the Düsseldorf education center is also moving. The Castle Gymnasium has already beat them to it.
Now, you might be wondering, "Who set the schools on fire?" The police are still digging deep into the origin of the blaze that struck the secondary school and gymnasium of the Erkrath school complex last Tuesday. Student-free at the time, thank goodness!
In the meantime, the primary school of the Erkrath school complex, which miraculously avoided the fire, will welcome back its nearly 300 students on Monday, post-clean-up, as announced by the city of Erkrath.

During the temporary closure of the schools in Erkrath due to the fire, students are utilizing home computers for distance learning. To support their education-and-self-development, vocational training programs are being provided online.
