The teacher shortage in Berlin : SPD parliamentary group calls for cross-beginners-rate of Berlin schools

The teacher shortage hits Berlin's schools vary greatly: The concentration of newcomers in the social focal points has increased in this school year is solid. This is a current Senate in response to a request of the SPD-deputies, Joschka long Brinck, the daily mirror exclusively occupied. Accordingly, the number of General education has schools, in which about 20 percent teach a lateral entrant, within one year, 27 schools more than quadrupled. The peak value is about one-quarter and relates to colleges in the middle of, Lichtenberg, Neukölln and Spandau. About ten percent of newcomers there were in the previous year, to nearly 100 schools, today there are around 170.

Even more serious is the bad position of the problem in schools, if you are a beginner, in addition to the regular cross-even those newbies taken into account, which, in addition to the traineeship is also a suitable subject of study is missing. Of these, "Lovls" (teachers without full teaching qualifications) have been set in the summer of 900, and also you don't have to attract shares, especially the schools, which are attractive enough to "correct" teacher. So it is that some schools have a total of about 30 percent in the Transverse/lateral hires.

Sad peak in Lichtenberg

The highest value of 44 percent in Lichtenberg at the "32. Elementary school“. It is the Carl-Kraemer primary school in the middle (36 percent), the secondary school at the Staakener kleeblatt in Spandau (33 percent) and the Hermann-Gmeiner primary school in Lichtenberg (30 percent).

long Brinck had - after some initial resistance, the administration of education stands for the second Time in school to get a sharp information on the distribution of the newcomers. So you can see the position of the majority of schools compared with the previous year, even if it is the goal of the coalition was the Metropolitan of the newcomers. This has mainly to do with the number of circulating transverse risen by beginners, so that they add up now to just under 1850. Add the above 900 Lovls and 120 master students who will participate in the program "teach instead of waiters".

"The SPD parliamentary group calls for a long time that the distribution of the Cross-boarding in the city is controlled much more," said the education policy of the SPD spokeswoman Maja Lasic the daily mirror at the weekend. This has happened since this school year is "stronger than before", the Figures showed, however, that "it is enough".

primary schools are particularly badly affected

Particularly boarding schools are the reason, because Berlin has for many years formed barely of primary-school teachers affected by the cross. From the above, in 1850, the current newcomers, 60 percent work in elementary schools, 22 percent in secondary schools and only a few at high schools, vocational and special schools. Of popular and well-run focal-point schools, such as the community school on Campus Rütli, however, there are almost no newcomers, which proves that it is not only the "focal point" is, the trained novice teachers are discouraging, but often a combination of several negative factors. to improve

the distribution in the city, calls for the SPD, "strength training quotas for Cross-boarding for all schools in Berlin": Only if all of the schools in the training of the cross-one of the parties involved, increasing the fully trained teachers would be more evenly distributed to our schools," said Lasic.
