In particular, the current care crisis due to understaffing and poor working conditions is having an impact on children and parents. Therefore, the state government must finally invest in early childhood education. In times when the proportion of children with a migration or refugee background is growing, language training is crucial for successful integration. For this reason Baldauf has asked the state government to invest 15 million euros in language support programs in kindergartens to compensate for federal subsidies that will no longer be available in the future. Pedagogical concepts for addressing learning deficits also need more support, Baldauf said.
