Battle-weary scholars decamp to makeshift school, plagued with malfunctions
Amidst the rejuvenation of their secondary school in Berlin-Friedrichshain, the students find refuge in the interim "school hub" on Werneuchener Wiese, situated in Berlin-Pankow. The concept of this temporary shelter had been under discussion since 2007 but was beset with delays due to unreadiness of rooms.
Even today, there are lessons conducted within the construction site: the sports hall has remained closed since Monday due to malfunctioning heating system - a bone-chilling 14 degrees.
The computer labs are still inoperative, resulting in the annulment of lessons. Chemistry classes forgo experiments due to a dysfunctioning fume hood. The defective ventilation in the windowless toilets inconveniences pupils. Moreover, the window blinds can't be adjusted, and a faulty fire door unsettles parents.
Defects have been identified and expected to be rectified by the contractor immediately. However, components for the fire door and ventilation systems remain unavailable. Their arrival: Up in the air.
The Senate touts the construction as a "record time" achievement, planned and executed in less than two years with the school community's agreement. The move, however, was carried out alongside full disclosure of the remaining tasks.
In spite of the extensive list of drawbacks, the educational administration embarks on a celebration of the school's opening in the presence of State Secretary Torsten Kühne. The parents, however, have no intention of celebrating - instead, they plan to protest outside the school.
