Vienna in the overwhelming struggle: City Council Return on the home straight!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Maximilian Krauss from the FPÖ has a sharp criticism of Christoph Return, the education and integration city council of Neos. He returns time in office as catastrophic and realizes that both students and teachers suffer from significant deterioration. "Return has failed in all relevant areas, and the Viennese population suffers from his inactivity," says Krauss, who, in his passionate statement, points out that the register of sins is more an admission of his political deficiency management than an application for the ministerial post.

Despite these massive accusations, exactly return as a potential Minister of Education could rise in a future federal government. His well -known shadowy existence as a city council could soon come to an end, since he is supposed to be involved in the formation of a historical triple coalition at the federal level. According to the information from The press shows a return, which has led the Neos in a new politically balanced direction, but also the will to perform a positive turn. In his department, he recently increasingly pointed out the integration of children with language difficulties, where the numbers of the students who do not speak sufficiently German have risen alarming.

integration and reform needs

The situation is particularly critical in Vienna: 44.6 percent of the new first graders cannot follow the lessons due to poor knowledge of German. This is a dramatic increase compared to previous years. Despite these challenges, return has raised the budget for the kindergartens to 1.23 billion euros and convened additional language supporters to counter the problem. This development is necessary to meet the increasing requirements, some of which are due to the strong family reunification of refugees.

In his efforts, however, return is faced with a variety of construction sites. His reforms, such as those of MA 35 (immigration and citizenship), show initial successes, but need time to completely affect. The Vienna City Council is in a late race against the clock because it tries to initiate basic political and structural changes while fighting with great pressure and accusations at the same time. Krauss and other critics warn the dramatic defects in education and integration policy and thus show the challenges that are still before return, regardless of the political path he chooses in the future.
