Viennese educational crisis: NEOS are criticized for system failure!

The Viennese educational crisis reaches a new highlight: Judith Pühringer from the Greens calls the situation a "total management failure of the NEOS". According to Pühringer, 50 percent of the children in the first elementary school classes cannot be sufficiently German to follow the lessons, despite years of support in kindergarten. "Two thirds of the children who do not understand German in the first elementary school class have already gone to kindergarten for two years in Vienna. These numbers prove a system failure in German funding," explains Pühringer, while the Viennese Greens are pushing to expand German funding and to install fixed language support in every kindergarten.

failure in educational management

The educational spokesman for the Greens, Julia Malle and Felix Stadler, criticize Return City Councilor, who does not do justice to his responsibility. "He only continues to push the problems, be it to the educational directorate or federal government," says Malle. The Greens therefore call for a clear plan for improvement. "Every child must be able to speak German well - it doesn't work anywhere else," emphasizes Stadler. The demand for adapting the model of free school choice to a socio-economic criterion is also expressed according to the point of view. This is not just an ideological question, but a fundamental question of management in education policy in Vienna.

like wien.orf.at reports Pühringer criticizes that responsibility in the education sector has been passed on for decades, which has always led to a further decline in quality of education. "The victims are children, parents and teachers: inside," she sums up. The Viennese Greens are vehemently committed to improvements to change the educational situation in Vienna sustainably. They are calling for a comprehensive reform of German funding and a review of the previous educational approaches of the NEOs to remedy educational failure.
