Fight for school assistants: Chemnitz teachers on alert!

At the Chemnitz cooperation school, the future of school assistance is on the brink. The elimination of temporary school assistants could have serious effects on everyday school life. Nicole Klug and Sebastian Behr, who work in the school's administration, underline the importance of these support positions for the pupils and teachers. Every day, they welcome the children and adolescents to the school door from 7.30 a.m., which creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The presence of school assistants is not only a question of practical support, but also a fundamental component for the everyday life of the students. Colorful children's pictures and handicraft posters in the Klug and Behr office testify to the trusting relationship that is cultivated within school.

meaning of school assistance

The increasing heterogeneity in the classrooms demands flexible support. In this context, the Saxony School website reports that school assistants play an essential role in the education system. They support the teachers in the care and help to take into account the different needs of the students. The tasks of school assistants can vary depending on the school, type of school and the specific requirements.

General school assistance includes support in class and support the student body. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of pedagogical offers that go beyond regular lessons. Language and integration investigators are particularly used in preparatory and DAZ classes as well as in parent work to beat a bridge between school and families.

including education and challenges

The context of school assistance is supplemented by the UN Disabled Rights Convention (UN-BRK), which signed Germany in 2007. This convention aims to ensure students with disabilities the same educational opportunities as their peers without disabilities. In its analyzes, the German Association emphasizes the urgency of the further development of school assistance and emphasizes the need for hybrid models that enable schools to adapt the support.

The recommendations relate to the updated legal situation, in particular the federal government law and the Child and Youth strengthening law. In order to meet the challenges, a cooperation between schools and the bodies of integration assistance is required. These joint efforts are intended to lead to schools in inclusive courses, which is an important task for the federal states.

In order to ensure the necessary support for schools, regulated cooperation and the development of flexible pool models are required that take into account the different needs of the schools.
