New construction of the special school in Genthin: More space for those in need of learning!
A lot is happening in the education sector in Genthin. An important project to support children with special needs has just been launched. The new transition building on Schulstrasse, on the corner of Seminarstrasse, will be in great demand. After the renovation work, 29 students now have access to a total of four classrooms, a workroom and a gymnastics room, which is used for therapeutic learning opportunities. Particularly interesting: The schoolyard of the Bismarck-Gymnasium will be available for the children's breaks in the yard. This not only improves the learning conditions, but also significantly shortens the journey for students from the Genthin region to the Lindenschule in Burg.
As Meetingpoint JL reports, the building was previously known as a branch of the Jerichower Land District Adult Education Center. The rooms in the nearby Bismarck-Gymnasium were previously used for course operations. For the construction of a new special school in Genthin, a property on Fabrikstrasse was selected where a nursing school used to stand. Space is to be created here for up to 60 children with special needs. During the implementation, historical aspects were taken into account, including the fountain and the sundial.
Need for special educational support
One reason for the new building is the growing need for special education support. As Tenders AI makes clear, the Jerichower Land district is the client for this project. The deadline for submitting offers is February 20, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. The aim of the new facility is to support children who have delayed or incomplete development of mental abilities. With a capacity of 60 students, the school will help relieve pressure on the current location, where 100 children are currently cared for.
The barrier-free design of the building and the outdoor areas is also an important aspect. The single-story construction ensures that all facilities are accessible to everyone. In addition to the technical equipment, specialist planning also includes aspects such as fire protection and monument protection, so that safety and functionality go hand in hand. This not only ensures the education of children with special needs, but also creates a space that is appealing and functional for everyone involved.
Statistical background
The importance of such measures is also underlined by the statistics on special needs education in schools. According to KMK, the need for support has increased continuously in recent years. In recent years, comprehensive surveys have been carried out on this topic, which show that the demand for specialized educational offerings is increasing. Data from the last ten years demonstrate the development of funding in German schools and make it clear how important such projects are for society.
Overall, it is clear that the new initiatives in Genthin are not only a sign of the positive development in the education sector, but also of social coexistence. It will be exciting to see how the new special school will develop and what progress the students can make there.
