Inclusion in education: Hamburg saves on school attendance

Hamburg is reducing support hours for students requiring special assistance in schools, sparking concern among parents. The city plans to cut funding for school accompaniment, primarily relying on unqualified personnel such as those participating in voluntary social service programs rather than trained educators. Parents report significant reductions in support hours, with some children receiving less than half the previously approved time. The local education authority claims there are no planned cuts, but parents and advocacy groups argue otherwise, citing examples of reduced support and difficulties in securing qualified staff. Organizations like the GEW union and the Parent Council have criticized these changes, calling for their suspension.
