SPÖ spokesman for children’s rights Christian Oxonitsch sees the SPÖ’s demands for better funding for kindergartens and elementary education confirmed today by a recent study by the KDZ and the Association of Cities: “It is not without reason that we have long been criticizing the inadequate funds that the ÖVP and the Greens make available to the municipalities. The study by the Association of Cities shows that much more is needed to alleviate the personnel situation and ensure quality child education.” ****
Oxonitsch continued: “Kindergartens are the first place of education for our children. If we want to acknowledge and take this responsibility seriously, it must also be clear that a significantly higher budget is needed.” In this context, Oxonitsch refers to the annual billion for children’s education demanded by the social partners. “It’s about the best education for our children, to which they have a right, and it’s about respect for the people who are responsible for this education. A functioning system and a good job are also the best marketing strategy for a professional field,” Oxonitsch concluded with regard to the personnel situation. (End) ts/up

Boosting Funding for Kindergartens and Elementary Education: A Necessity for Quality Child Education
Date: September 18, 2024
Location: Vienna, Austria
In a recent study conducted by the KDZ and the Association of Cities, the SPÖ’s long-standing demands for improved funding for kindergartens and elementary education have been vindicated. Christian Oxonitsch, SPÖ spokesman for children’s rights, has been vocal about the inadequacy of funds allocated to municipalities by the ÖVP and the Greens, and this study serves as a stark reminder of the need for increased investment in early childhood education.
The Alarming State of Kindergartens and Elementary Education
Kindergartens are the first place of education for young children, and it is here that the foundation for future learning is laid. However, the current state of kindergartens and elementary education in Austria is cause for concern. The study by the Association of Cities reveals that the personnel situation in these institutions is far from satisfactory, and quality child education is suffering as a result.
The Consequences of Inadequate Funding
The lack of adequate funding for kindergartens and elementary education has far-reaching consequences. Without sufficient resources, these institutions are unable to attract and retain qualified staff, leading to a shortage of teachers and caregivers. This, in turn, affects the quality of education and care provided to children, ultimately impacting their social, emotional, and cognitive development.
The SPÖ’s Demands for Improved Funding
The SPÖ has consistently emphasized the need for increased investment in early childhood education. Christian Oxonitsch has been a vocal advocate for better funding, and this study serves as a testament to the validity of the SPÖ’s demands. ”Kindergartens are the first place of education for our children. If we want to acknowledge and take this responsibility seriously, it must also be clear that a significantly higher budget is needed,” Oxonitsch stated.
The Way Forward
The study by the KDZ and the Association of Cities is a clarion call for action. It is imperative that the Austrian government takes immediate steps to address the funding shortfalls in kindergartens and elementary education. This can be achieved by:
- Increasing the budget allocation for early childhood education to ensure that kindergartens and elementary schools have the resources they need to provide quality education and care.
- Providing incentives to attract and retain qualified staff, including competitive salaries and benefits, professional development opportunities, and a supportive work environment.
- Implementing policy reforms to ensure that the needs of children and their families are at the forefront of decision-making, and that the education system is equipped to meet the demands of the 21st century.
Conclusion
The study by the KDZ and the Association of Cities is a timely reminder of the importance of investing in early childhood education. The SPÖ’s demands for better funding for kindergartens and elementary education are not only justified but also essential for ensuring that Austrian children receive the education they deserve. It is time for the Austrian government to take decisive action and prioritize the education and well-being of its youngest citizens.
