A shortage of teachers in Burglesum: ten places at primary schools vacant!

A shortage of teachers in Burglesum: ten places at primary schools vacant!

in Bremen-Burglesum, especially when it comes to schools. On June 6, 2025, the advisory board committee for children and education sent a protest note to educational senator Sascha Karolin Aulepp. The reason for this was the non -participation of a representative of the educational authority at an important meeting on all -day care in schools. The behavior was perceived as inadequate, which led to early termination of the public session after only 20 minutes. The committee was upset because there was no information about student registrations, teachers and teaching care that should be treated during the session. So it happened that despite the previous cancellations, the information materials were not sufficient to clarify the expected questions.

The advisory board committee sees itself disabled by the repeated absence of the educational authority, as is stated in the local law about advisory boards and local offices. This situation also has a direct impact on teaching care at the Burglesum primary schools: on August 1st, ten teacher plan places remain vacant. At the moment, teaching in the region is 91 percent, while the Bremen average is 97.1 percent. An improvement can be hoped for by new hires that could lead to a supply of 95.3 percent, but there is still room for improvement.

forecasts for teaching care

The forecast teaching rates on August 1st show where the challenges lie:

Although the situation is stable in some schools, there are still classes that are disadvantaged by the lack of teachers. The educational authority faces a challenge that not only affects the schools in Burglesum. The shortage of teachers in Bremen is perceived as particularly serious, also compared to other federal states. The lesson supply in outskirts and inclusion pedagogy is a constantly growing concern. The Bremen Senate has given high priority in the coalition agreement education and emphasizes that educational justice should apply to all children regardless of origin or place of residence.

The implementation of additional measures, including a massive attitude of new teachers and the support of socially disadvantaged schools, is actively promoted. These steps are necessary to cope with the challenges and improve the quality of education in Bremen before it is too late.
