Ravensburg (dpa / lsw) – In the dispute over funding for the expansion of all-day school care, the federal government and the state are still fighting for a solution. A spokeswoman for Culture Minister Susanne Eisenmann (CDU) said on Friday in Stuttgart that a legal construction was being sought that would take up the peculiarities of Baden-Württemberg. A conversation between Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek (CDU), Federal Family Minister Franziska Giffey (SPD) and Eisenmann was very constructive. One is confident that there will soon be a corresponding positive result for the Southwest.
The crux of the matter is the supervision under which care services are available. There is a special situation in Baden-Württemberg. In contrast to other countries, 80 percent of all-day offers for primary school children in the south-west are under municipal supervision. However, the federal government wants the care to be under school supervision and only wants to finance this care with the money.
According to a report in the “Schwäbische Zeitung” (Friday), the two federal ministers show in a letter how the administrative agreement could also be implemented in Baden-Württemberg. The spokeswoman for the Ministry of Culture continued to work on the details of the solution.
The background to the dispute is the right to all-day care for primary school children, which will apply from 2025. To this end, the federal states should expand their all-day offers at primary schools, i.e. invest in rooms, concepts and staff. The federal government wants to support them with 3.5 billion euros. Initially, 750 million euros are to flow, around 98 million euros of which in the south-west.
