Because on the Rhine: Indian educators for daycare centers - a new glimmer of hope!
In Weil am Rhein, the city administration launched an innovative pilot project to counteract the shortage of skilled workers in the daycare centers. It is planned to qualify Indian women and to use it as educators in urban daycare centers. The aim is to train 15 Indians who have to have an apprenticeship and knowledge of German at B2 level. A corresponding training model, which has already proven itself in the training of butchers, is to be transferred to the educator training. Mayor Diana Stöcker (CDU) is behind this project, which is also supported by neighboring communities such as Grenzach-Wyhlen and Binzen and the Evangelical Church. SWR reports that the training should begin in 2027.
In order to ensure qualification, the Indian applicants must have previously worked with children in India, followed by a nine -month internship in a German daycare center and additional language courses. The initiative is in the context of an increased need for specialists in early childhood education in Baden-Württemberg. The Education and Science Union, represented by Heike Herrmann, emphasizes the relevance of the elementary education and recommends that language experts and childhood teachers should be used to support the daycare teams.
