125 years of guld school: Rector demands more support for students!

Guldeinstraße, 80339 München, Deutschland - The primary school on Guldeinstraße in the Westend, Munich, can look back on 125 years full of stories and experiences. Founded in 1900 by the renowned architect Theodor Fischer, the school developed into an important place for education and community. Under the direction of Rector Heike Stark, who knows the challenges of a so -called focus school, 65% of the 245 students are now: inside with a migration background. This reality not only brings diversity, but also enormous challenges.

At the celebration of the 125th anniversary, numerous school projects were presented, and prominent guests such as Florian Kraus from the Greens and Mayor Verena Dietl from the SPD were committed. The school can proudly refer to its infrastructure: apple trees, a herb bed, a after -school care center and a sports field offer space for versatile activities. The “Fair Play football break” with youth coaches and the weekly girls football round, which offer a positive balance to the challenges of everyday school life.

The problems behind the facade

Despite these successes, Rector recognizes the painful realities that many of their students shape: inside. Many of the parents have difficulty finding their way around the Bavarian school system. It is often a challenge that leads to a high need for speech, as strongly emphasized. The not only linguistic but also educational barriers affect the participation of the children. Bahar Aslan, an expert in this area, describes focal points as schools in structurally weak quarters that are faced with high unemployment and poverty. These circumstances lead to an increasing educational disadvantage, which must be tackled all the more pressing to ensure equal opportunities [BPB] that current educational and social policies often fail.

A central problem is the lack of qualified staff. The school on Guldinstrasse urgently needs support - speech therapists and school assistants would be a great relief for the teachers: inside. Many of them are already committed to volunteering to provide additional help. The school's support association is actively looking for support for festivals, projects and learning aids. Donations make it possible to finance school trips and additional teaching staff, which makes a big difference for many children.

education in diversity

Educational opportunities for children with a migration background are often unevenly distributed. Data show that these young people of rare daycare centers are visiting and overrepresented in secondary schools, while they are underrepresented in high schools. Their school skills are often lower, which impressively proves the PISA study. For example, while 25% of the elementary school children with a migration background are among the risk cases in reading, the school dropout among 21-30 year olds with a migration background is also significantly higher [knowledge atlas formation] that there is still a lot of catching up to do here.

The need for support and positive accents is therefore clear. Rector Stark and many teachers on Guldinstrasse know that the path to better education for her students is still rocky on the inside. Critics such as Bahar Aslan are calling for a change in education and social policy to ensure a fairer future for all children. The challenges are great, but the willingness to work on it and stand up for the children in the Westend remains unbroken.
