Pupils with dyscalculia should receive compensation

BSW: Years of uncertainty will be ended

The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) also took credit for the success. Lars Wurzler, a member of parliament, emphasized that the state parliament's decision meant that one of his group's central concerns had become a reality. After decades of uncertainty, there will finally be binding and legally secure help for those affected from the coming school year. The recognition of dyscalculia should not remain a symbolic act. "Special attention must also be paid to higher grades."

Left-wing politician Luise Neuhaus-Wartenberg suggested that teachers should also be trained in dealing with dyscalculia. "Of course, preventative measures should also be taken. The most effective way to combat dyscalculia is to intervene early. Good support in nursery school and years 1 and 2 is the best way to prevent dyscalculia." In any case, we need to move away from the assumption that affected children are lazy and should not be given preferential treatment.
