The murderous Spree in Graz also has an impact on schools of other federal states. Because the in -house crisis concept is now being tested. The Ministry of Education wants to “intensify” – but nothing hurry …
Because of all the imitation perpetrators, the schools are also with special observation by the police. “Since 8 o’clock there has been an increased operational readiness for the fast intervention groups and in Vienna de Wega in the areas where schools are, and a special most important focus in the criminal area”, as federal police director Michael Takacs explained during a press conference on Wednesday. Until further notice, these measures must remain until the end of the school.
According to the Ministry of Education, concrete adjustments to security measures at schools are currently not yet being made. It is now a matter of standing together and helping those affected in Graz, for example through a school psychological offer.
Only then is it about understanding what happened, drawing conclusions and act accordingly. Martin Netzer, general secretary of the Ministry of Education, had not excluded any technical security measures from the start on Tuesday evening in ORF.
However, you must ensure that measures are proportional and also practical. It is known from international examples that security locks are “not the Panacea”.
Al crisis plans and exercises
In schools there are already measures to make them a safe place. Crisis plans have been adapted to the regional requirements that the locations are in close exchange with the emergency services in their region. In schools there are also regular exercises on different crisis scenarios. For a long time, prevention of violence has been the top priority in schools and the double budget has also been increased in the double budget of psychosocial support.
Nowadays, the killing Spree also has concrete effects on school events. The Vienna Education Directorate, for example, “highly recommended” to cancel or move all school festivals, parties and sports competitions. Already started or immediately imminent events such as sports weeks can be “performed correctly”.
