“More autonomy” – curricula: Polaschek announces reform reform

Date:

Since 2018, new curricula have been developed for primary and secondary school and for the lower classes of AHS. The declarations are currently being processed, after which they are issued by regulation and are valid from the 2023/24 school year. However, Education Minister Martin Polaschek (ÖVP) has already announced a reform of the reform.

The current new version is “not the last word” and for him it is only a matter of “transition curricula”, according to the education minister in the “Kleine Zeitung”.

Polaschek will implement the new version of curricula, which started under the former department head Heinz Faßmann (ÖVP), so that schools do not have to work with outdated predecessor curricula, it said Monday. At the same time, experts should already start working on a new version of the curricula.

According to the minister, it is a new approach: “We need a basic idea of ​​what education should look like in the future.” Polaschek is quoted as saying that there are constantly new challenges in education that are changing rapidly. “This should also be reflected in the design of the curricula. We need a new kind of curriculum that is more flexible, much leaner and gives teachers more autonomy.”
