The AfD wants to secure more money for music schools in Saxony in the negotiations on the double budget for 2025 and 2026. They will apply for a doubling of funding to around 15.7 million euros per year, the parliamentary group announced.
The AfD referred to a report in the "Sächsische Zeitung" newspaper, according to which the Sächsische Schweiz music school needs an unscheduled grant of 300,000 euros to survive. The fees for parents had already been drastically increased. A further increase is due in August. Half an hour of piano lessons per week costs 68 euros per month.
