Lack of space at Bremen schools: urgent need for action!

Burglesum, Deutschland - In Bremen-Nord, the continued increase in the number of students has become a serious problem for educational institutions. According to a report of the Weser-Kuriers , the increasing demand for school places leads to an acute lack of space in this region. This Situation requires urgent measures because the existing premises are not sufficient to meet the needs of the growing number of students.

To counteract this problem, several construction projects and renovations are planned. However, the Bremen budget situation has an impact on the implementation of these projects. An overview of the most important construction projects shows that the Burgdamm primary school has, among other things, set up a temporary cafeteria in two classrooms. Furthermore, the lessons will take place temporarily in a mobile construction, while for the future the new cafeteria is being considered in modular construction. The corresponding decision documents are to be created in the first quarter of 2023.

planned projects at a glance

• New primary school Lesum: foundation in mobile buildings; School containers should be available at the start of school in summer.
• Oberschule Lesum: merging at a location, moving of the vocational school to the vocational school campus West.
• School Borchshöhe: New construction of a four -day school with cafeteria and sports hall in planning.
• Oberschule Sandwehen: planned construction start for the kitchens expansion in April.
• School Center Blumenthal: move to the combing district with planned completion for 2026.

parallel to the challenges on site, a study by the Ministers of Education will increase by about 1 million (9.2%) in 2022 to 2035. The West German area countries and city -states are particularly affected, while in the East German countries the number of pupils remain almost constant.

These developments not only illustrate the challenge in Bremen, but also the long -term changes in Germany's education system, which will go hand in hand with an increased demand for school places. In addition, the expected development of the number of pupils is used for the planning of the teacher employment needs calculation in the federal states, which is scheduled for December 2023.
