“The grievances in Vienna’s kindergartens in German funding are not solely remedied by doubling the German support forces. We have cases of children who have attended an urban kindergarten for five years and still have to start with an extraordinary status at the beginning of school. There are massive structural undesirable developments that require a little more commitment and seriousness of the mayor than to promise to promise LAPIDAR,” said the Educational spokesman for the Vienna People’s Party, Harald Zierfuß. “Apart from the fact that the SPÖ and NEOS so far from 500 language funding were not met and we currently have almost 300 full -time language supporters, a comprehensive German support plan is needed to remedy the grievances in German funding, which goes far beyond increasing the number of language supporters,” says Zierfuß.
“In addition to its own language promotion for each kindergarten location with great German funding, the German support plan of the Vienna People’s Party provides for primarily mandatory language levels for all three-year-olds and a full-day kindergarten obligation for all children with German support,” said the ÖVP training spokesman. Since German funding in kindergarten is particularly integrated in everyday life, the introduction of a step plan to increase the specialist child key as well as language support training and C1 language level at the entire kindergarten staff is finally needed. Furthermore, there is no way around linking kindergarten funding to the quality of German funding in the kindergartens. “After the elementary education in legislation and enforcement is a state matter, the city does not need to wait for specifications by the federal government. In Vienna there is a danger in Vienna. Any further delay in this area again costs a generation of children a fair opportunity for a successful educational career,” said Zierfuß.
