All Class Teacher Positions in Vienna's Primary Schools Filled

In Vienna, all open teaching positions were filled at the start of the school year - including in primary schools. This was announced by the office of City Councillor for Education Bettina Emmerling (NEOS) to the APA on Friday upon request. It was emphasized that this ensures every child has their class teacher. In August, a total of 240 positions were still open. According to the councillor's office, 700 applications were received by the education directorate for these positions.

Many Retirements

It was reaffirmed that although the personnel shortage has not yet been overcome, Vienna is on a good path. The city continues to face a high number of teacher retirements. However, with new initiatives, such as those for career changers, it has been possible to make the profession more attractive again and to attract more people to the teaching profession.
