According to a study, vocational school teachers in Baden-Württemberg have a high workload – they do an average of three hours of extra work per week. The school principals are even more challenged than their colleagues with eight hours of extra work per week, report “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” and “Stuttgarter Zeitung” (Saturday), citing a representative study carried out by the University of Mannheim on behalf of the Vocational School Teachers’ Association (BLV). .

This means that teachers at vocational schools would exceed the regular annual working hours for civil servants of 1,804 hours by seven or twenty percent, it said. The chairman of the vocational school teachers’ association, Thomas Speck, called on politicians to take immediate countermeasures in order to reduce the excessive working hours of teachers and school management. In order to emphasize the demands for relief, the association is launching an online petition. According to the State Statistical Office, around 22,000 teachers are employed at vocational schools in Baden-Württemberg with almost 400,000 students.
