Education for everyone: Naumburg's new school campus starts!

Education for everyone: Naumburg's new school campus starts!

At the Naumburg Education Campus, the first decisions are made this week that pave the way for a future -oriented educational project. District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) brought an interesting arithmetic task: "60 minus 15" - and the total costs of around 60 million euros were set for the new campus, whereby the district would take over 15 million euros and the remaining 45 million euros will come from European funding. The school campus is to be built on a wasteland of the former grain economy on Schönburger Straße, as mz.de reports.

The educational campus has great ambitions: the aim is to combine school support, general education and professional orientation in one place. The Minister of Education of Saxony-Anhalt, Eva Feussner, sees this initiative a chance for the region and emphasizes the importance of the training prospects. The district council of the Burgenland district approved planning services of 3.3 million euros in July 2022, and the award continues.

funding and further steps

The project is funded by the Just Transition Fund (JTF), a European funding pot that supports the Central German territory during structural change. A total of 45 million euros are available for this in Saxony-Anhalt, as the burgenlandkreis.de. In addition, the educational campus is part of a holistic educational concept that stands together with the educational campuses in Zeitz and Weißenfels.

Jörg Riemer, headmaster of vocational schools, sees many advantages in the merger of secondary school, special school and vocational schools. The building application is submitted in the 2nd quarter of 2023, and construction is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2024. The first students are to be welcomed in the new educational campus in autumn 2027. The connection to the "Unstrutbahn" rail network with a new stop "Landratsamt/BildungsCampus" will also facilitate accessibility for young people from the western Burgenlandkreis.

a holistic educational offer

The ambitious project not only stands for structural measures, but also to promote equal opportunities and participation for all children and adolescents. The state government sees the project as a significant step in the fight against the shortage of skilled workers. The funding from the JTF comprises a total of 45 million euros with a funding rate of 78%, which underlines the importance of this project to establish an inclusive education system.

Overall, the project shows how education systems can be adapted to the requirements of a rapidly changing society. Information about further funding projects and developments in the field of education can be found on the website of the [Just Transition Fund] (https://structurwandel.sachsen-anhalt.de/ Development-foerdern/eu-foerderung/ anyway. The future of training in Naumburg takes on forms and harbors the potential to give the region new impulses.
