Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The teaching profession in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is to be made more attractive in the coming years by 2030.
To this end, the state government and education unions signed an “Education Pact for Good Schools 2030” on Tuesday, as Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) said on Tuesday.
The background to this is the high burden on teachers in MV, which has so far led many educators to leave their profession or to reduce their working hours before they reach retirement age.
The teaching obligation in the state is one of the highest in Germany.
Around 7,000 new teachers will be needed by 2030 to fill age-related gaps.
What exactly is done should be discussed together in the short, medium and long term and depend on the cash situation. "Should there be more financial leeway in the state budget in the next few years, the partners agree that the expansion and expansion of the agreed measures enjoy a high priority," says the joint declaration of intent signed by the state government and the trade unions .
Compulsory hours should be reduced and tasks reduced.
Education Minister Bettina Martin (SPD) also promised the introduction of working time accounts for teachers and allowances for trainee teachers.
The aim is to attract young professionals to the country and regions that do not appear attractive in the eyes of young people.
The way to schools in MV is to be made easier for foreign teachers.
According to the paper, there is a focus on Europeans and especially on people from Poland.

Since the last state election, an additional 200 million euros have been made available for the schools, emphasized Martin.
In addition, the state received an additional 80 million euros for the digitization of schools.
This should be based on in the future.
The opposition left spoke of “full-bodied announcements for the distant future”.
The students and teachers needed improvements now and not until 2030, said the parliamentary group leader of the Left in the state parliament, Simone Oldenburg.
The problems have long been known.
