Brome challenges IGS with upper level: School path of 2 hours unbearable!

Samtgemeinde Brome> The focus of a explosive dispute is about school education! Peter Albrecht, the heat -headed parliamentary group spokesman for the SPD/Pul, demands the establishment of an integrated comprehensive school (IGS) with an upper level. Over 800 students from the region are forced to take long distances to Wittingen, Sassenburg and Wolfsburg. Time is urging, because concern is growing that the Volkswagenstadt could no longer accommodate students from the southern district of Gifhorn. Albrecht speaks of alarming developments and an increasing number of rejections at Wolfsburg schools. A locally anchored educational offer could not only solve this problem, but also save considerable costs for the district.

The Situation is explosive! Residents complain to school for up to two hours of travel. While only individual children are affected in other communities, all students suffer from these unsustainable conditions in Brome. But that's not all: Mayor Wieland Bartels emphasizes that the financial burdens for the municipality are enormous due to school financing. For the secondary school and the Realschule in Rühen, Brome has to pay himself, while other municipalities benefit from the advantages of an IGS. Bartels warns of unequal treatment and refers to a lawsuit submitted in 2018 to re -transfer the sponsorship - a clear wake -up call for the decision -makers!

The demands for an IGS are getting louder! Bartels emphasizes that the velvet community, due to the investments made of up to 50 million euros, are not in the way of major hurdles for the integration of an IGS. The new building for the junior high school, which is to be requested this year, is flexibly planned and offers the opportunity to be used for various school forms. The establishment of an IGS at the district has been requested since 2007, but so far the reaction has failed to materialize. Albrecht criticizes the inadequate discussions with the municipality and finally calls for a clear decision about the future of schooling in Brome!

The district has not commented on these explosive developments until the time of going to press. The time for changes is urged!
