Multiple vocational schools in Saxony are benefiting from EU aid for regions affected by the coal phase-out. New funding has been approved for facilities in Chemnitz and Wurzen, according to the Ministry of Culture. This involves around 627,000 euros for equipping specialist cabinets and investments in school buildings.
This is a sign of the future viability of vocational schools, said Minister of Education Conrad Clemens (CDU). "Modern equipment is the basis for practical and high-quality training."
