Mainz (dpa / lrs) - From the point of view of the CDU parliamentary group, the schools in Rhineland-Palatinate receive too few teaching hours per week for additional organizational and educational measures.
"Schools are not given what they need to do their job," criticized the parliamentary group's spokeswoman for education policy, Anke Beilstein, on Wednesday in Mainz.
After the state government's response to a request from the parliamentary group, the CDU parliamentary group evaluated the data on the so-called outline plans.
"We found that there are big differences between what was requested and what was allocated," said Beilstein.
The schools had requested an additional 758 hours per week for social purposes, but only received 302 approved.
For language support, 7615 hours were requested, but only 5850 were approved, said the parliamentary manager of the CDU parliamentary group, Martin Brandl.
In urban areas in particular, these hours were disproportionately not approved.
Beilstein and Brandl expressed concern that missing hours for social purposes and language training in times of the pandemic meant that schoolchildren could lose touch.

Education Minister Stefanie Hubig (SPD) stated in the answer to the parliamentary question that “deviations from the hours originally requested and the hours actually provided” were possible due to changes in the number of students, for example.
In addition to the allocation of weekly teacher hours, the school authorities also have a budget with which, for example, contracts with language support teachers can be concluded during the school year in order to be able to react to changing needs.
