School closure in Salzburg: Teachers criticize profit greed for the abbey!

Schwarzstraße, 5020 Salzburg, Österreich - A shocking upheaval in Salzburg: The Abbey Admont, new owner of the Schwarzstraße elementary school, is now planning a residential development on the site, such as ORF Salzburg . The city and the state of Salzburg had been fought for months to maintain school operations for at least a year. But the new owner is adamant and has quintupled the rent for the school building. This led to massive criticism on the part of the city and the parenting, which was informed at the beginning of this month by letter about the upcoming closure of the school in July.

A total of 240 students are affected and now have to prepare for an uncertain future. The teachers accuse Admont Profit greed and wonder why there is no real interest in the continued existence of this respected educational institution from the church, the pen or the political side. Christine Haslauer, the teacher of the teacher: Inner Association Salve, expressed sharp criticism. At the same time, the city announced that the remaining classes are not separated. Instead, they should be integrated together in urban elementary schools in the coming school year.

The role of the abbey Admont

The Abbey Admont, founded in 1074, is not only known for its monastery tradition, but also for his commitment to education and social responsibility. The institution emphasizes that it is on a religious foundation and today embodies a zeitgeist that is important for many people. However, the decision to close the elementary school raises the question of how these values ​​are actually implemented, especially when it comes to the future of young people who are dependent on education. According to Abbey Admont it is important to the institution to be there for today's people. But now the credibility of this statement is at stake, given the upcoming end of a historical educational location in Salzburg.
