- Senator Advocates for Extra Aid in High-需求 Educational Regions
In Bremen and Bremerhaven, the Startchancen Program continues to support schools with a high proportion of socially disadvantaged children and youth. The goal of this nationwide initiative is to break the connection between social origin and educational success.
The SPD politician, Sascha Aulepp, has stated that there are more schools in Bremen and Bremerhaven that meet the criteria for the Startchancen Program. Currently, 43 schools in Bremen participate in the program, with 32 more schools identified as needing its support.
One such school is the one on Lehmhorster Street, which has made significant improvements in various areas thanks to the Startchancen Program. School principal Kai Westermann has invested the funds in additional sports courses, school kitchen equipment, and a school social worker, with a particular focus on helping school dropouts.
The school's social worker plays a crucial role in providing support to those who may have fallen behind in their studies. The improvements in sports, school kitchen facilities, and social support have contributed to a more positive and inclusive learning environment.
Principal Westermann reports that after just one year of implementing the Startchancen Program, the school on Lehmhorster Street has already achieved significant results. The program offers ten years of funding for construction measures, additional personnel, and flexible use by schools to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students.
Bremen receives approximately 9.5 million euros in annual funding from the federal government for the Startchancen Program. The funds are used to support schools in challenging environments, with the primary focus on improving the basic skills of students, including reading, writing, and arithmetic.
The Startchancen Program aims to support schools in improving their students' educational success and breaking the cycle of disadvantage. Education Senator Sascha Aulepp is advocating for an expansion of the program due to the high number of needy schools in Bremen and Bremerhaven.
For precise and up-to-date information about new participating schools or recent developments in Bremen and Bremerhaven's Startchancen Program, it is recommended to consult official sources such as the Bremen Senator for Children and Education or the program's official communications. The Bremen education authority website may also have more detailed updates, but no explicit data was found in the current search results.
The Startchancen Program's focus on schools with socially disadvantaged children is evident in the investment of funds for vocational training, such as additional sports courses and school social workers, at schools like the one on Lehmhorster Street. This investment in education-and-self-development and learning initiatives aims to create a more positive and inclusive environment for students, contributing to their overall success and breaking the cycle of disadvantage.
