Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - According to their association (BLV), two out of three vocational school teachers suffer from a significantly increased workload due to corona-related alternating and distance learning.

That is 15 percent more than in April of last year, as the FSVO announced with reference to surveys of 3,000 teachers in April 2020 and 2,800 in February of this year.

And 90 percent of those currently surveyed stated at least an increased effort.

The FSVO spoke of terrifying results on Monday.

The school administrators and their teams in particular are on the verge of resilience.

They groaned under significantly increased administrative effort: Contact lists would have to be created, lessons and final exams would have to be rescheduled, the information about the ever-new Corona rules had to be passed on to the teachers.

That is why the school headmasters should be freed even more from the obligation to teach.

The association notes as positive that significantly more students are reached in distance learning than in the first lockdown of last year.

Almost six percent barely or not at all take part in distance learning.

"That is an extremely good value," said the head of the association, Thomas Speck.

Speck warned of the consequences of further underfunding of vocational training.

More investments urgently need to be made in the next legislative period.

"Anything else jeopardizes the future prospects of the schoolchildren and Baden-Württemberg as a business location."

His association is calling for more than 500 new positions to reduce teaching deficits and to promote digitization and innovations and to establish networks with the cooperating companies.

Using a step-by-step plan, new positions could be released over the next five years.
