Teacher on sick leave for 17 years: did she work as a paramedic?

A female teacher from the Ruhr region has been on sick leave for nearly 17 years and is now challenging an administrative order to retire. The case was first reported by SPIEGEL and involves legal action against the district administration in Düsseldorf. The teacher, who worked at a vocational college in Wesel, had not taught since 2009 despite repeated absences without medical examination. A disciplinary proceeding was initiated against her and a staff member of the district administration. The teacher claims she continues to receive full salary while awaiting the court’s decision. Additionally, prosecutors in Duisburg are investigating her for suspected fraud, including allegations that she faked her inability to work and operated as a complementary therapist during her sick leave.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the situation neutrally, detailing both the administrative actions and the legal challenges faced by the teacher. It reports on the investigation into potential fraud without overtly criticizing or supporting either side. The framing remains balanced between the authorities'立场和被
