School social work seeks lasting assurance for expansion, advocates for increased funding and resources
Baden-Württemberg's school social work funding will continue for the next two years, as confirmed by the Minister of Social Affairs, Lucha. However, the Association of Education and Education Baden-Württemberg is advocating for more resources to address the increasing challenges in schools.
The association has emphasized the need for future-proof and robust school social work, given the rising costs and demands. They are calling for a significant expansion of school social work, stronger integration into the educational system, and permanent, legally secured funding to ensure long-term stability.
These demands are typically made during policy discussions on school social work funding. Permanent, legally secured funding would provide long-term stability, rather than temporary or project-based financing. Expanding funding levels would increase the availability and quality of social work services in schools, addressing growing needs related to student welfare and mental health.
The challenges facing schools include growing social inequality and rising psychological stress among children and young people. The association wants school social work to be available at all schools in the state to address these issues effectively.
Currently, school social work is funded by the state in Baden-Württemberg, and the funding amount will remain around 45 million euros for the next two years. The association seeks active dialogue with politics regarding school social work to further discuss their demands for permanent legal safeguards and expansion of school social work funding.
For precise figures, official legislative proposals, or statements from the Association for Education and Education, direct sources such as government budget reports, press releases from Baden-Württemberg’s Ministry of Education or social welfare, or official communications from the Association would need to be consulted.
