In certain areas of Saxony's schools, people without a degree and with a vocational qualification are to be employed as teachers in order to alleviate the teacher shortage. "We will adapt the recruitment decree," said Culture Minister Conrad Clemens (CDU) in an interview with the "Leipziger Volkszeitung" newspaper. "This means that we can address new target groups for employment at our schools."
The minister mentioned the areas of swimming lessons, art, music and sport at primary and secondary schools. "This is a far-reaching step. Anyone who does not have a teaching degree but is a lifeguard or has a B trainer's license can help out in swimming or sports lessons."
