Vienna's educational revolution: NEOS act while the ÖVP fails!

The Viennese educational landscape again causes hot discussions. Neos Vienna, represented by club chairwoman Bettina Emmerling, recently criticized the city's education policy. According to Emmerling, the Viennese ÖVP tries to create a "Vienna problem" without taking responsibility at the federal level. It makes it clear that the failure of the Ministry of Education of the ÖVP is the real reason for the current problems. "Instead of pointing to Vienna with the finger, the ÖVP should finally act where it is responsible - at the federal level," emphasizes Emmerling, while NEOS implement concrete measures while the federal government remains idle, as [ots.at] reported.

The language support in kindergarten and free summer Germany courses were intensified under the leadership of the NEOS. These steps are necessary because the federal government continues to delay fundamental reforms. "If education for the Viennese ÖVP is more than a political survey slip, it must urgently implement reforms, such as the introduction of a second mandatory kindergarten year and a training offensive for elementary educators: inside," Emmerling says.

Vienna remains livable despite challenges

Additional support comes in the form of new rental and residential aids, which will be expanded from March 1, 2024. In this way, justified households receive significantly increased aids, which in particular will benefit families and low -income citizens. This is done as part of a collection of measures that should ensure that no Viennese or no Viennese has to suffer from fears of existence. Initiatives such as free lunch at compulsory schools and the creation of new kindergarten places show the city's commitment to improve the quality of life through education and social security.
