Educational Offensive – Return announces 4,000 new training positions

A training offensive is intended to include a new basic pedagogy -bachelor’s degree, but also the qualification of assistants for educators. The cross input must also be promoted.

The “Big Training Initiative” will be decided next week in the Council of Ministers. 32 million euros must be invested in the coming years. Return also trust that there was enough teachers in the coming school year. His goal before the end of the legislative period is that the lack of teachers is a thing of the past. Even now more people would study.

Focus on German financing
Return also wants to work for more German financing. The German supporters in the coming school year would be increased from currently 650 to 1,300 – In times of budget deficit this is a “strong sign” that every child must learn German. The second mandatory kindergarten year, that will come and that is ultimately financed, is also to remedy this. Every child who needs German financing will also receive individual German financing in the coming year, the Minister of Education emphasized.

A “huge problem area” was a repeat in the fact that “too many young people” cannot read and write sufficiently after nine years of mandatory training. That is why there must be an average maturity that they have to do after the end of the training. Young people who have shortages here must be recognized and promoted in advance. If someone does not create the middle adulthood, there must be targeted support programs.

Moreover, recurrence also wants to rely on the mediation of values, democracy customers must come a separate subject for the AHS sub -stage and for secondary schools. He also spoke for a change in culture at school – instead of shortages, one must concentrate on the talents of children and promotes. Working is also made about opportunities for opportunities, schools that need special support must also be promoted.

Work on legal options for parent -sanctions
Sanctions for non -cooperative parents are planned. For example, there must be administrative fines if a child is suspended because of violence, but the parents refuse to talk to the school, but refused to return. How this can be designed by the law is currently the content of advice with experts. There should be a legislative proposal in the course of the following school year.

Returning education federalism is an obstacle, he expressed himself for a confusion of responsibilities. There were many allies, he said – such as the Salzburg Governor Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP), who can imagine that the federal states do without their skills in the field of education. Return also spoke “in a small country like Austria” for more federal confession in the field of education, but wants to discuss open -ending with the countries.

Given the tense budget situation, it must argue for discussing new austerity measures. One could also talk about caressing the salary diploma for civil servants whose salaries will be adapted to inflation in 2026, according to a two -year conclusion.
