SEEVETAL: New funding priority for emotional development started!

Winsen (Luhe), Deutschland - Seevetal in the Harburg district has taken an important step in the educational landscape: The regional state office for school and education in Lüneburg has approved the new focus of emotional and social development at the Wolfgang Borchert School in Winsen. This decision comes into force on August 1, 2025 and brings an urgently needed expansion of the educational offer for children with special needs.

"This approval is a significant progress for our district," said District Administrator Rainer Rempe about the decision. It is already clear that this new offer will contribute to supporting children with high support in emotional and social areas. Preparations with regard to upcoming parent consultations and registrations in primary schools can now begin to give the families affected more clarity.

growing need for special educational offers

Ursula Schnella, the head of the school / sport department, underlined the importance of this school branch: "We know about the high need for special educational offers for children. Many parents and primary schools expect this additional offer because they see a real chance that their children can be better promoted in smaller learning groups." This innovative measure was decided in response to the growing challenges in the school support of children.

Already in the past school year at the Wolfgang Borchert School of the emotional-social funding branch for schoolchildren from class 5 was introduced. The expansion to the primary school area is now also gradually introduced. A combined class 1/2 is planned for the school year 2025/2026, which enables children to take part in school and social activities at an early stage.

It should be emphasized that the Wolfgang Borchert School is the only educational institution in the Harburg district that offers this specific funding focus. This means that pupils from all municipalities who have a high special educational need for support are given an opportunity for individual support. The goal is clear: each child should be optimally supported in order to later create the transition to regular schools and to develop its talents and talents.

The need for such specialized educational offers is not only shown in the increasing registrations, but also in general increase in the need for school accompaniment. More and more children need special support that has increased significantly in recent years, which underlines the urgency of these developments. See the current information seevetal-aktuell.de.
