Roads by teachers: OPR parents' council calls for immediate clarification!

In Brandenburg it is announced that more money should flow into education, but reality looks different: 345 teaching positions are shortened in the new school year. Students and parents in the region are concerned, because the staff ceiling is already very thin in many schools. Steffen Keller, spokesman for the district councilor in Ostprignitz-Ruppin, clearly expresses it: "The situation is questionable." The information situation on the cuts remains vague, since neither the Ministry of Education nor the State School Authority in Neuruppin comments on the consequences of the stops.

This does not come without consequences: regular lessons, short -term representation plans and an unstable everyday school life are reality. In these circumstances, learning does not become easier for the students. Is it a miracle that the Kreiseltern Council sees the cuts as a contradiction to the goals of improvement in education in Brandenburg? After all, the quality of education in the region is rather lean in a nationwide comparison.

conditions are tense

With 345 eliminated areas, the state government paralyzes the already tense situation in schools. Schools with many socially disadvantaged students in particular remain unaffected by the cuts, which is a small ray of hope for some. According to advisory board members, the staff shortage will not disappear in the next few years, since the number of students will rise in Brandenburg - a total of around 3,000 additional students are added.

The country's budget situation strongly explains the drastic cuts: If you want to provide more money for digitization, democracy education and other areas, you can no longer be as generous elsewhere. However, the schools are not only removed from the schools, but also the time for funding hours - here an additional problem glows. There are repeated reports on the elimination of important funding hours for disadvantaged students, which further fuel the concerns of parents and teachers.

criticism and future prospects

While the state government is planning to spend 300 million euros an annually for education, according to the double budget for 2025 and 2026, paying countless teachers that these cuts will negatively influence the lessons and the care of the students. Despite the announcement not to drive the teachers across the stress limits, the schools experience a pressure that could soon lead to an increase in the lessons. From February 2026, teachers should teach one hour more per week - this not only raises doubts about the quality of the lesson, but also about the motivation of the teachers.

in all of the problem, the problem only clarifies in the first weeks of September when the effects of the cuts are published on the individual schools. But the questions are already there: what will go on when the necessary staff is missing in schools? How can teachers and students still work effectively in such a tense environment?

In summary, it is clear that the concern for the school future in Brandenburg is getting louder. The requirements rise while the resources are falling. A clear appeal to politics - family -friendly and future -oriented education cannot only be achieved through financial increasing on the one hand, and cuts on the other. A rethink is required.
