Seven more Saxon schools secure financial support. - Additional schools in Saxony granted financial support receives funding
Hey there, folks! You knew it was coming, and now it's here - EU dough flowing like wine across Saxony's landscape! Seven more of those fine Saxon vocational schools are about to receive generous grants for state-of-the-art equipment and construction projects. That's right, your tax money, innocent schoolkids, and the pink-cheeked babes of the EU are banding together to give these schools a much-needed facelift.
The grand old Ministry of Education in Saxony has secured over €1.3 million from the Just Transition Fund (JTF) and the generous hearts (and wallets) of the Free State to invest in these projects. The goal? To adapt vocational training to the ever-changing labor market and create a legion of skilled workers in areas hit hard by the transition to a climate-neutral economy.
Education Minister Conrad Clemens (CDU) took to the lectern, proclaiming, "We're investing in modern learning spaces, strengthening the future viability of our vocational schools in Saxony!"
Now, who's getting this sweet EU cash? Let's take a little tour, shall we?
- The Vocational School Center (BSZ) Leipziger Land is lining its pockets with around €325,000 to modernize specialist cabins.
- With nearly €304,000, the BSZ Eilenburg plans to install fancy new heating technology and upgrade their facilities.
- And the BSZ Löbau will pocket around €256,000, using it to equip specialist cabinets and workshops with snazzy new equipment.
The Just Transition Fund primarily focuses on supporting regions that are particularly affected by the shift towards a green economy, such as the Lusatian region (districts of Bautzen and Görlitz) and the Central German region (Leipzig, districts of Leipziger Land and Nordsachsen), as well as the city of Chemnitz.
So, if you're living in Leipzig or Dresden and thought you were getting a raw deal, think again! There's over €43 million up for grabs from EU and state funds from 2021 to 2027, so keep those fingers crossed!
