Chochichäschtli-Orakel: Exploring Dialects and Teaching Vacancies in Swiss Schools

24.08.2023 10:20

“Chochichäschtli-Orakel” is the name of a website on the subject of dialects. We are in the class of Claudio Notz, teacher of the technical school class 2af at the Rychenberg canton school. Using dialect words, one’s own geographical origin can be assigned surprisingly precisely. The students enter their answers in the “Chochichäschtli oracle”. For example, the terms «Faischter» and «Fischter» mean the same thing, namely: «window». Speaking of windows: the middle school and vocational training office, the elementary school office and the school management did not have a window seat. Because every year the mammoth task has to be mastered, that there is an adequately trained teacher in front of every school class. While 388 positions were vacant throughout the canton nine weeks before school started this year, 46 positions were vacant one week before the start of school, according to data from the elementary school office. According to the head of the elementary school office, Myriam Ziegler, this corresponds to only 0.25 percent of a total of around 18,000 jobs. This year again, people without a teaching diploma, so-called polids, will be used to fill primary school positions. According to the elementary school authority, the situation regarding vacancies has not changed. Reasons are the lack of skilled workers and the increase in students. This year the challenge was mastered. How the situation will develop in the future, you would have to ask a teacher oracle.
