This is what the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance wants for Saxony’s schools and daycare centers
Education is a priority, explains the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance. With the strengthening of core competencies, free daycare centers and social workers in all schools, there are commonalities with the SPD and CDU – but not everywhere.

The topic of education was present everywhere in the election campaign. The CDU promoted “first-class education starting from preschool,” the SPD announced “more teachers.” The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance wanted to “give education a home again.” Saxony’s BSW chairwoman Sabine Zimmermann declared that education was one of the issues that had priority; the BSW expressed interest to the Ministry of Education.
What are the party’s ideas? What are the similarities and differences with potential partners?
Schools need more teachers
According to the Ministry of Education, Saxony’s schools are currently lacking around 1,000 teachers to ensure full teaching. Getting more teachers into the classroom will remain a key task of education policy over the next five years.
The CDU wants to improve the graduation rates in teacher training and continue to give teachers civil service status. The CDU considers it particularly important to distribute teachers as evenly as possible across the individual regions of Saxony – young teachers in rural areas are paid a bonus for this. The BSW does not yet consider this to be sufficient. The party is committed to reforming teacher training. More practical relevance in a dual course of study should make it easier for prospective teachers to enter the profession. The SPD wants to continue to focus on people who are entering the teaching profession from other careers and improve the support they receive.
