Reasons at apprenticeships in Brandenburg: Schools are facing chaos!
Educational reforms in Brandenburg: cuts of teaching positions, additional lessons and possible consequences for schools.
Reasons at apprenticeships in Brandenburg: Schools are facing chaos!
In Brandenburg, the schools are faced with profound changes, which are caused by massive cuts in the educational budget. A total of 345 teaching positions are planned in the new state budget, which are to be dismantled. As a result, teachers have to do an additional lesson per week from February 2026, while at the same time no new jobs are planned for teachers. These developments are already causing significant uncertainties and challenges at schools. Headmaster report tense preparations for the coming school year, and the CDU fears a "fiasco" in the educational committee based on these savings, which could also affect the quality of education, such as [rbb24] (https://www.rbb24.de/partijt/2025/07/brandenburg-schulen-einfarungen-bildungen-bra. reported.
The problem at the primary and comprehensive school in Lehnin is particularly acute, where two urgently needed teachers cannot be stopped. Headmaster Dirk Lenius warned that the school could have an "overhang" of 90 lessons, which would probably lead to transfers of 3 to 4 teachers to other schools. In addition, there are fears about cuts in all -day care and in conveyor lessons, which are also crucial for the students.
lack of teachers and lessons
The financial situation in the education sector is tense. Despite the planned cuts, the teachers decreased from 20,800 to 20,542 in the school year 2025/2026 and in the following school year to 20,442. In February 2025, 250 full -time positions were already vacant for teachers, and the state parliament opposition, in particular the AfD and the CDU, warn of further lessons as a result of these developments. The Education and Science trade union also announced protest campaigns to draw attention to the tense conditions, as well as [Moz.de] (https://www.moz.de/nachrichten/brandenburg/ Lehrerin-in-brandenburg-kuerzungen-brandenburgs-schueler-warnen-vor-litten-78000735.html) reported.
The additional lesson is not the only challenge. Teachers should be relieved of other tasks, but the exact implementation of these measures remains unclear. The Minister of Education Steffen Freiberg (SPD) described the coming school year as a "challenge" and admitted that transfers of teachers could be necessary. In the meantime, many headmaster remain skeptical because they often do not speak publicly about the problems for fear of professional disadvantages.
outlook for the future
Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) emphasized that reducing lesson failures has top priority. In the discussion about the shortage of teachers and the additional lessons, the situation is still tense. Headmaster Dirk Lenius hopes for soon information on planning for the coming school year in order to be able to meet the increased requirements. The new regulation for evaluating work and social behavior, which should only take place in levels 4, 6 and 10, could also have significant effects on the pupils and their development.
In view of these developments, the question of the future of education in Brandenburg arises. The educational landscape is in transition, and the upcoming changes will have to face both teachers and students with new challenges.
