NRW should maintain an active presence within school premises.
Stefan Zimkeit, a member of the state parliament for Oberhausen-Sterkrade and Dinslaken, is calling for urgent action in the education sector. As a member of the SPD party, Zimkeit is advocating for an investment program called "Good Schools 2030" in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
The proposed investment for the "Good Schools 2030" program is 85 million euros. In the case of Oberhausen, this investment is aimed at addressing an urgent need for another comprehensive school in the east of the city. However, it's important to note that the proposed investment does not include the expansion of the primary school in Buschhausen.
Zimkeit emphasizes the need for investment in Buschhausen, as the primary school there requires expansion following the closure of a branch. He believes that the state of NRW should take responsibility for education and calls for a comprehensive approach to address school construction needs, not just in Oberhausen, but across the region.
In the past, the "Good Schools 2020" program provided 31 million euros for school construction projects in Oberhausen, and Zimkeit recalls its success. Unfortunately, the CDU-led state government failed to launch a successor program to "Good Schools 2020".
Zimkeit urges the rectification of this situation as soon as possible, expressing concern that many cities may again fall into a vicious circle of high debt and lack of investment. He highlights the urgency of new school construction in Oberhausen and suggests that it is not just Oberhausen facing this issue.
The proposed investment of 85 million euros is intended as an investment in the future of children's education. However, the current economic situation poses a threat to the ability of many NRW municipalities to act.
For authoritative updates on Stefan Zimkeit's "Good Schools 2030" proposal, one would need to consult official North Rhine-Westphalia education ministry communications or legislative records, regional government or school district releases for Oberhausen and Dinslake, and direct statements or publications by Stefan Zimkeit or his affiliated party related to education policy reforms aiming toward 2030.
- Stefan Zimkeit, in his call for immediate action in the education sector, has proposed a comprehensive approach to address school construction needs, particularly in the policy-and-legislation sphere of North Rhine-Westphalia, stemming from his advocacy for the "Good Schools 2030" program.
- In light of the proposed investment of 85 million euros for the "Good Schools 2030" program, general news coverage will likely highlight the critical need for investment in schools, particularly in the eastern part of Oberhausen, which requires another comprehensive school, as well as issues concerning school expansion in other regions.
