In the case of refusal to integrate into kindergartens, parents are confronted with high fines in lower Austria. The Minister of Education now wants to hold this model for schools. Christoph Return therefore went to St. Pölten on “Fact-finding mission”.
Pedagogues in domestic kindergartens had increasingly complained that parents deny the collaboration and simply ignore agreements for the conversations of parents. This should end from autumn: Being: with the amendment of relevant state laws, the rules for the obligation to collaborate for parents in pedagogical work in kindergarten were tightened. So -reliability contradictions are now threatened with penalties of a maximum of 2500 euros.
Lower Austrian model as a model
The new Minister of Education Christoph Return (NEOS) now wants to implement such measures in the school area. So one of his first federal state agreements now led him to St. Pölten. Here he met Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner shortly before their departure for Expo. The responsible state councilor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister and educational director Karl Frittthum were also there when returning to the Government District Tips for the planned tightening.
Handle against confidential trust
“It may not be that those who are not willing to integrate the rules of our society and we have no handling against it,” the government explained the motives for the stricter laws in the area of kindergarten, for whom the state level is responsible. Mikl-Leitner and the minister agreed that this should also be extended to the school sanctions. However, this measure must be determined by the federal government. Therefore, in this respect, return to the “factual mission” for Lower Austria: “Parents are responsible for their children. I expect them to participate in school life.”
Strengthen his back educators
During the meeting with the Minister of Education, Teschl-Hofmeister and Frittthum emphasized that stricter rules against unfortunate fathers and mothers also strengthen the educators in their daily work: “It is about a functioning school climate and above all that integration is lived in our country.”
