Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Left parliamentary group leader Simone Oldenburg rated the planned change to the teacher training law as an "air number".

The compulsory part-time preparatory service for so-called lateral entrants to the teaching profession will be effective for a maximum of ten percent of these people.

In addition, the change in the law lacked the impetus for a long overdue reform of teacher training.

"No student will finish their studies in the country more than before," said Oldenburg on Monday in Schwerin.

According to the latest surveys, more than two thirds of student teachers for regional schools in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania drop out or move to another federal state.

On Wednesday, the new teacher training law presented by Education Minister Bettina Martin (SPD) will be discussed in the state parliament for the first time.

Due to the increasing shortage of teachers, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania had started to increasingly take on academics and professional practitioners without pedagogical training in the school service.

In order to achieve the lack of knowledge, lateral entrants should complete a two-year qualification, comparable to the traineeship.

According to Oldenburg, however, very tight conditions are attached to this.

According to the Ministry of Education, 1,344 teachers at public general education and vocational schools in the state were lateral entrants at the beginning of the current school year.

That corresponds to a share of around 11 percent.

Two years earlier, this proportion of the 11,300 teachers in the country was still eight percent.
