In favorites, the city councilor of Vienna Christoph Return (Neos) has now presented her new language program “Mission German”. There is criticism of the blue-black coalition negotiators in the federal government.
“Vienna is no longer possible,” says Return, “we cannot continue to register hundreds of extra school children per month who have never visited a school without fair support from the federal government.”
No federal support
The situation in schools is disturbing: in primary schools only about a third of the children have German as the first language, in high schools it is even only one fifth. “Vienna does not choose who is coming to Vienna. But we will be punished by not getting the resources we need, “the vice mayor of Neos is irritated.
“Journey to the last century”
Moreover, there is a planned “heater bonus” that should enable mothers to stay at home with their children. “This is hostile to integration, anti -education and bad for the economy,” said Return. Children of migrant families in particular would go in nursery schools less often – with serious consequences for their language development. “Here we experience a breathtaking journey through time in the past century.”
Vienna wants to prevent
The “Mission German” is supposed to prevent. Volunteers are now being sought who visit the nursery schools as reading sponsors. “Whether it is the grandfather of favorites or a business consultant from the third district – can help everyone. 50 new language assistants must also be hired in the elections. Another 500 should follow.
Vienna wants to create a legal basis
Vienna calls for a second mandatory kindergarten year of the new federal government. Vienna itself wants to legally implement the service visit of 30 hours a week. In addition, there must be compulsory German courses during the holidays for children without sufficient language skills. Return knows: “We can regulate this at the state level.” Nache: “But I would rather be if the federal government were alone.”
