Saxony wants to noticeably reduce teaching absenteeism in the new school year. The many new teachers at the schools would also contribute to this, said Minister of Education Conrad Clemens (CDU) in Dresden. Securing teaching remains a major challenge, as does the distribution of staff. There were vacancies in rural areas in particular. Overall, however, there are 438 more people in the teaching profession than in the previous school year.
According to Clemens, secondments from elementary school and grammar schools to secondary schools are particularly necessary. "A big thank you goes to the head teachers and teaching staff in the state for their willingness to go along with us in our efforts to provide a good education for all pupils." It is important to show solidarity - especially for secondary schools and schools in rural areas.
