What the “Austrian Department Store” was for former Minister of Economic Affairs Margarete Schramböck (ÖVP), is what the “Digital School Portal” is for Minister of Education Martin Polaschek (ÖVP). 12 million euros were thrown away for a platform that no one uses, according to the answer to a parliamentary question from Neos.
“A complete flop that people try to cover up with nice words,” education spokesperson Martina Künsberg Sarre of Neos summarizes the result. “Instead of openly addressing problems and taking action, Polaschek pretends that everything is going according to plan. It remains to be hoped that the follow-up project ‘Education Portal’ will be cheaper and more useful than the school portal.”
