A study shows that school principals in Saxony are under undue strain. Scientists have identified this in increased levels of burnout symptoms, for example. The Education and Science Union (GEW) is therefore sounding the alarm and calling for relief. The findings of the study are "in part alarming" and cannot remain without consequences, it said.
In the survey, 80 percent of management staff stated that they sometimes or all day had to work at a fast pace. Around two thirds rarely or never keep to their break times. More than two thirds of those affected feel they have too little time for preparation and follow-up work. 51 percent of those surveyed feel drained, 48 percent emotionally exhausted.
