Viennese educational crisis: Greens demand brave measures by Minister Return!

In the heart of Vienna, the educational crisis is bubbling! Christoph Return, the new Minister of Education from the NEOS, is exposed to sharp criticism. At the municipal council meeting, Judith Pühringer, party leader of the Greens Vienna, said that after almost five years as a city council of education, his term of office had not improvements. "A child who goes to school today has no more chances than five years ago," said Pühringer. It is also worrying that many first graders do not have sufficient knowledge of German in order to be able to follow the lessons, although 80 % of them have been in a Viennese kindergarten for several years - a clear proof of the failure of German funding in the city href = "https://www.ots.at/presseaus-sung/ots_20250307_ots0133/gruenepereperehehrer-an-wiederig-- and-schauen-s-gut--guten-unserer-wiener-kinder reported.

But that wasn't everything. During a media discussion in the town hall, the Greens awarded a devastating school grade of 4.5 for return. In the subjects of elementary formation, German funding and inclusion, he even received a "smooth 5". Pühringer and her party colleagues criticized that the need for language support and sufficient space for children with disabilities is not covered. Over 1,100 children are waiting for a kindergarten place-an alarming sign of the extent of the situation, such as Wien.gv.at documented.

shocking double standard

The Greens spoke of a "tangible educational crisis" and did not rule out that the double function of return as Minister of Education and at the same time top candidate for the Viennese Neos is questionable in the upcoming election on April 27. Pühringer noticed that five years ago, the critics from the ranks of the Neos Gernot Blümel, then finance minister, called "part -time minister". The Greens are now calling for a recurrence to be brave and to enable the battered teachers and the unless the chances of children a better future. The time of the excuses is over!
