Finland is considered a pioneer when it comes to childcare and education. Since Tuesday, Tyrolean governor Anton Mattle and education minister Cornelia Hagele (both ÖVP) have been receiving suggestions for the legal right to childcare envisaged by the black-red state government.
“Tyrol is the first federal state to implement this legal right,” Mattle is confident, especially since Chancellor Karl Nehammer and Family Minister Susanne Raab (both ÖVP) recently pledged €4.5 billion by 2030 for an additional 50,000 places in the whole country. Tyrol wants to introduce legal law in the kindergarten year 2024/25 in the first pilot regions.
Hoping for bonus ‘for the pioneers’
It is unrealistic to start across the state. According to the population figures, about 54 million euros of the 4.5 billion euros would flow to Tyrol every year. Mattle hopes for a bonus ‘for the pioneers’, as he explained to the ‘Krone’ during the trip to Finland.
How do Mattle and Hagele feel about the idea of a federal legal right? Moreover, both are covered, because the federal states do not like to interfere when it comes to childcare. Hagele assumes “that other federal states will follow the Tyrolean model”.
