Teacher in Brandenburg: First warnings of massive job cuts!

Brieselang, Deutschland - in Brandenburg, the double budget causes considerable unrest in schools for the years 2025/26. The government under the leadership of the SPD and BSW plans a package of measures that is to be implemented after the summer vacation. From 2025 to 2026 a total of 445 teaching positions will be available, which ensures nervousness for schools and parents. Katja Poschmann, the spokeswoman for the SPD parliamentary group of education, prompted this information situation to be patient: "The school authorities work on the calculations," said her statement. MAZ-Online reports .

The specific figures on the teaching positions concerned should not be published until the end of July. The Jahn elementary school in Rathenow will be particularly affected, which says internal that at least three teachers are expected to leave school. This school is part of the starting chances program that specifically supports facilities in difficult social positions. Berit Sommer, the deputy parents' spokeswoman at the Jahn primary school, comments that the cuts could have negative consequences for the lessons and the students.

additional challenges in the field of education

An additional troubleaker is that the teachers should teach one less than a week from February 2026 in order to compensate for the eliminating areas. Christian Gust, a member of the FDP local association and on the roundabout council, criticizes the defective communication of the state government with regard to this development. With an increase of around 3,000 students in the coming year, the pressure on the existing system will continue to increase.

The Brandenburg government has announced that it would also invest 300 million euros for education, but the schools have to accept cuts at the same time. According to an internal letter at the European School in Falkensee, noticeable cuts in the school act are the order of the day. A comprehensive school in Brandenburg an der Havel, for example, has to reduce its representation reserve from 13 to 10 hours a week and sees the hours for "learning together" by 20 percent, which could have alarming effects on promoting students. rbb24 has published further details .

The parents are, as it looks, deeply concerned. In order to draw attention to the concerns of the students, the parent representative Sommer launched a postcard campaign, which is to be handed over to the state parliament member Katja Poschmann on July 7th. This is intended to increase the pressure on the decision -makers in order to cushion the negative effects of the cuts on the education system, because less hours for the need for funding and language support are already an alarming sign.
