CDU blocks educational opportunities: No new comprehensive schools in Halle!

Halle (Saale), Deutschland - in Halle (Saale) there will be no new integrated comprehensive schools (IGS) in the coming school year. The State School Office rejected the conversion of the Heinrich Heine Community School and the Cooperative Comprehensive School Ulrich von Hutten, presumably due to the pressure by the Ministry of Education led by the CDU. The parliamentary group leader of Bündnis 90/The Greens, Melanie Ranft, criticized this decision and emphasized that the need for IGS places was enormous and the procedure of the CDU was contrary to the will of the parents and students. The background is a controversial political attitude towards school, which enables families to make their children's educational paths more flexible.

The educational spokesman for the left faction in the city council, Hendrik Lange, described the decision of the State School Office as a clear blockade against longer learning in Saxony-Anhalt. He stated that the CDU systematically torpedo this school form and ignore the well -being of the students, parents and teachers. Lange also claimed that the alleged organizational hurdles, which are now used as a reason, have only been pushed forward to prevent the expansion of the IGS. This continues for so long. For so long. The negative attitude of the State School Office also countered decades of successful cooperation between existing schools.

In this tense situation, the city administration and the left faction in the city council of Halle made clear demands to the state government in order to reduce the ideological blockages. One had to respect the interests of the parents and to consider the opportunities for the Heinrich Heine School and the KGS Ulrich von Hutten to be continued as IGS. The state government's attempt to hinder the expansion of the IGS by unrealistic requirements was significantly damaged by the educational landscape in Halle. The educational discussion will continue to remain heated, while the actors surround the optimal school design for the city, as the left faction for an education policy that focuses on pupils and parents, as dielinke-halle.de .
