New package for German funding at schools – Diepresse.com
The Federal Government increases the positions for German funding from next school year. The budget for this includes formerly limited help for Ukrainian students.
Christoph Return is asked whether he had now built the model as the minister responsible that he would have liked to be a city council of education in Vienna. There he does what politicians rarely do and says briefly, briefly and clearly: « Yes. »
It is 8.30 a.m. in the morning, and return is in the all -day folk school Quellenstraße in the tenth district in front of a glass wall to which flowers were glued to. The choice of location for the press conference alone symbolically stands for today’s topic, learning German. In the comparison of the Vienna districts, according to the study of the Austrian integration fund, it was shown that the proportion of students with a non -German colloquial language was 73 percent in the school year 2022/23.
However, it is essential for integration and educational success to be able to German, says return several times this morning. And here there is a problem throughout Austria: the number of so -called extraordinary pupils whose German is not enough to follow regular lessons has increased by 54 percent to a total of 48,400 children. 23 percent of German support in the first classes of elementary schools.
