Staff for day-care centers are desperately needed. Black-Green announced a skilled labor offensive in the coalition agreement, but it has not yet become concrete. Family Minister Josefine Paul gives an outlook.
Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) – Family Minister Josefine Paul will provide information on Friday (2 p.m.) about the current status in the daycare area and the plans for the next few months. In order for good early childhood education to be successful, appropriately trained specialists are needed, emphasized the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry in Düsseldorf. In the coalition agreement, the CDU and the Greens had agreed on a skilled labor offensive. However, the state government has not yet given any specific information on this.
Green politician Paul recently emphasized that despite the pandemic and other challenges, the range of care services had been continuously expanded. Only on Thursday did she express her confidence in a debate on language day-care centers in the state parliament: Even after the announced stop to federal funds at the end of the year, the federal and state governments are on the right track to finding a solution for the continued existence of this language support.
