School system in danger: Werkrealschule degrees before the end in Baden-Württemberg!

The green-black state government in Baden-Württemberg plans a drastic reform of the school system, which means the end of the workshop school leaving certificate for the current fifth classes. This forces schools in the region to reorient themselves and to examine various ways to secure the future of their educational offers.

In red on the red, the municipal council has already decided: The Abt-Hermann Vogler School is converted into a junior high school! Headmistress Carolin Stolz explains that this decision was made from the desire to optimally prepare the students for professional life. Despite the good number of students of around 200 in the Werkrealschule, the conversion is necessary to preserve flexibility and also offer the students the opportunity to graduate from secondary school. Proud is optimistic and emphasized: "School develops and we go with us."

Resistance in Mietingen

The situation in Mietingen looks very different, where Mayor Robert Hochdorfer describes the reform as "insolence". He criticizes the fact that the work of the workroom is questioned without need and sees no reason to change school. The municipal administration also expresses concerns that the number of registrations could decrease, which would result in the closure of the Werkrealschule. Rector Anke Schwarz is convinced that the school can continue to be successful as long as it can maintain its proven form.

In Ehingen, on the other hand, the local council has already dissolved the Werkrealschule at the Michel-Buck School. Mayor Tobias Huber sees the need to create space for the high -birth vintages. Around 170 students are currently attending school, but the attractiveness could be endangered by the elimination of the work of the work. Huber emphasizes that all degrees will continue to be possible in other schools, while the effects on the junior high school and the community school are still unclear.
