Guntramsdorf decides on social support for afternoon care!

Guntramsdorf, Österreich - On June 6, 2025, a new income -dependent funding for afternoon care was decided in Guntramsdorf. This unanimous municipal council decision should come into force from the coming school year and aims to make education and care more affordable for families. The parents' contributions to afternoon care are staggered depending on the income of the families.

The measure is aimed in particular on single and low -income households, which suffer particularly from the increasing cost of living and the high personnel costs in the education sector. Mayor Robert Weber emphasized the importance of making education accessible to everyone. This reform is supported by a calculation based on the poverty hazard threshold according to statistics Austria.

funding height and claim

The funding ranges from 10 to 40 percent of the childcare costs, depending on the family income and the number of children. For example, a single mother with two children and an income of less than 2,515 euros can receive a funding of 40 percent. The same applies to a family of four with two children and an income below 3,772 euros.

In order to be able to take advantage of the funding, the parents must have their main residence in Guntramsdorf and prove that they are working. The measure is intended to create equal opportunities in access to education and support and is part of an overall municipal concept for social security and family -friendly framework conditions.

educational infrastructure and expansion plans

Guntramsdorf offers a wide range of education that extends from the crèche to high school. The municipality also plans to expand the kindergarten in Neu-Guntramsdorf from three to six groups in order to meet the growing needs. After this expansion, Guntramsdorf will offer a total of 18 kindergarten groups in five institutions, which is intended to further improve the quality of early childhood education.

These local efforts are in a larger context that illustrates the importance of education for equal opportunities. Basically, education is not just a matter of schools, but also of families and early childhood care. Investments in education are essential to reduce social inequalities and promote integration. In Germany, for example, social origin and educational success are closely linked, and almost every fifth child grows up in poverty, which has long -term effects on education and society.

Overall, it shows that Guntramsdorf takes a significant step towards a fairer educational landscape with this new funding measure. The decision should not only reduce financial burdens for parents, but also help to ensure that all children receive the same opportunities for education and support.
