Teacher delegations in Saxony: A school year full of challenges!
In Saxony, schools will be under considerable pressure in the coming period: In order to avoid lesson cancellations in secondary schools, Education Minister Conrad Clemens (CDU) has decided to organize 290 teacher delegations this school year. This measure is viewed critically by those affected and trade unions Free press reported.
Teachers from primary schools and high schools, who are now deployed to high schools on an hourly or daily basis, are particularly affected. These secondments aim to maintain teaching, but are not without controversy, with many teachers expressing concerns about the quality and continuity of teaching.
The background of the delegations
The delegations are part of a comprehensive strategy coordinated by the State Office for Schools and Education (Lasub). According to Clemens, this measure is intended to mitigate the negative effects of teacher shortages and lesson cancellations. Reactions to this are mixed; While some teachers appreciate the flexibility of secondments, others see it as a burden that interferes with their core mission at primary or secondary schools.
The challenges facing the education system raise the question of what long-term solutions can look like. Increased recruitment of new teachers and better conditions in schools appear to be unavoidable.
The digital trend in education
- Apple iPad Pro 12.9′ M1: R$ 18.399,00 – Große Bildschirmqualität und hohe Leistung
- Apple iPad 10 Chip A14 Bionic: R$ 3.699,00 – Bestes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra: R$ 6.099,00 – Schneller Speicher und gute Akkulaufzeit
When choosing the right tablet, factors such as performance, screen quality and battery life are crucial. This allows teachers and students to maximize their productivity and make learning content more effective.
The technology of the future: app development
Another exciting area that is revolutionizing education is app development. With books like “iOS development with Swift" by Craig Grummitt, which provides comprehensive knowledge of programming apps for iPads, will empower the next generation to develop their own applications. In many school curricula, programming is now seen as an essential part of preparing students for the demands of the digital world, which in Books on Code is described in detail.
The book's practical approach allows learners to easily learn the basics of iOS development and thus become creative and innovative. The schools in Saxony are not only faced with the challenge of supplying teachers, but also of digitalization, which is clearly evident through tablets and app development.
The start of school will show how the combination of good infrastructure, motivated teachers and modern technology can be used to provide students with a comprehensive education.
