Falsification of documents in class: Can the pseudo teacher back?

Falsification of documents in class: Can the pseudo teacher back?

Steyr, Österreich - A scandal shakes the Austrian educational landscape: A 48-year-old man from Steyr is suspected of having taught German and sport in several schools for 15 years with a fake diploma certificate in the subjects. As the "Krone" reports, the suspect could speculate on a diversion in court, which would possibly open up a return to the education system. The educational directorate, on the other hand, categorically excludes re -employment.

The discussion about career changers in the apprenticeship is heated by this incident. In the "Krone" forum, many show that someone who worked in class for 15 years could be considered competent despite their fake certificates. At the same time, it is pointed out that numerous career changers can work under often far less pleasant conditions. The case raises questions about the requirements for career changers who have to prove a completed bachelor's degree and a professional practice. Is it fair that someone is used with fake certificates while other strict requirements have to meet? The readers are invited to express their opinions on this controversy.

Berlin urgently is looking for teachers

A look at Berlin shows a similar picture in the teacher landscape. Teachers are missing there, while the number of students is increasing. The pressure on schools to set such "career changers" remains because the Senate Education Management forecast is predicted by a persistent shortage of teachers. In this context, it happens more often that people with other professional backgrounds enter the teaching service, such as Luisa Desole, who was previously an architect and today taught at a Berlin school. She explained that there were challenges in her first weeks in school service, which rely on the support of her college.

in Berlin are currently 2,146 career changers in training, whereby their integration into the school system depends heavily on the willingness of the school management and colleges to receive them with open arms. Coaching entrants are often motivated and bring new perspectives into the classroom, which is expressly praised by headmaster Engin Catik. However, the challenges associated with this approach also require comprehensive support and mentoring to efficiently integrate the new teachers into the existing teaching staff, as rbb24.de

While the educational landscape is facing similar challenges in both countries, it remains to be seen how the demands on career changers and the handling of cases such as the fake diplom will develop. A connex that could lead to fundamental reforms in both Austria and Germany is clearly evident.
