Fight for school place: Vöcklabruck secures the future for 14 young people!

Vöcklabruck, Österreich - In Austria, a dramatic turn for 14 young people at the Pestalozzi School in Vöcklabruck was bought. Due to lack of space and lack of resources, these young people, according to Ursula Fehringer from the family network Down syndrome, fought for their schooling for a long time. "It cannot be that this hickhack from the country with the community is now being held on the back of our children," she told ORF Oberösterreich .

The director Regina Hemetsberger emphasized the close community of the school and that this situation hit all those affected very much. There was positive news on Tuesday: The deputy governor Christine Haberlander and education director Alfred Klampfer assured financial and personnel support from the country. Klampfer explained that, despite the challenges in relation to the room capacities, teacher resources are provided.

direct solutions in sight

The mayor of Vöcklabruck, Peter Schobesberger, made relief about the promise of the establishment of containers as a temporary solution. "I can give the parents a careful positive signal," he said, in terms of the situation of the young people concerned. This enables the eleventh and twelfth school year to be guaranteed. Despite the opening of the school building in 2021, space is still limited, and the long -term perspectives require an increase and additional jobs for people with disabilities.

These developments bring hope for the young people concerned, whose situation has so far been shaped by uncertainty. The fact that politics now intervenes directly is an important turn for many. The focus is now on the rapid implementation of the necessary measures so that the integration of young people into everyday school life can be realized quickly.
