Mothers in danger: repayments of over 30,000 euros due to AMS fraud?
Currently, numerous mothers in Austria face financial challenges because they face repayments in five -digit amounts. This situation results from participation in further training courses, which are now classified as not compliant with the requirements of the labor market service (AMS). This reports krone.at .
In particular, women who work in social professions are affected, including teachers, midwives, nurses. In the previous week, 105 of these women were heard by the police because against an institute that offered this courses is determined for suspected fraud. The mothers concerned feel unfairly treated and express that they are suspected of fraud from the AMS. A legal discussion could be difficult because the AMS has so far not transferred funds to the institute.Financial dimensions
The financial reclaims are partly exorbitant and can be over 30,000 euros. In this context, the second President of the Landtag Gottfried Waldhäusl commented by noting that the AMS was responsible for reclaiming the funds from the institute in the event of a proven fraud. The mothers' concerns concern the public and the investigation of the Federal Criminal Police Office continues to run.
This matter also raises questions about the quality and regulations in the Austrian education system. The discussion about education and further education is part of the broader context of educational reporting in Austria.
educational reporting in Austria

- Development fields selected: This is dealt with in terms of educational policy topics by scientists, including lateral entry programs for teachers and the use of artificial intelligence in the field of education.
