Sven Teuber Steps Up as Rhineland-Palatinate's Minister of Education
Schweitzer inquired Teuber following the national chancellor vote. - Teuber was questioned by Schweitzer concerning the chancellor vote.
Minister-President Alexander Schweitzer (SPD) of Rhineland-Palatinate couldn't have picked a better time to call his top pick, Sven Teuber, for the position as Minister of Education, succeeding Stefanie Hubig. With the German Bundestag's chaos behind him, Schweitzer waited to make the announcement until the Chancellor election dust settled. "With Friedrich Merz not securing the Chancellor seat in the first round, I figured it was smart to hold off," Schweitzer clarified in Mainz upon introducing Hubig's successor.
The announcement comes after Hubig's departure to join the federal cabinet as Minister of Justice, capping off nearly nine years in her original role. The official tongue-tickler for Teuber's appointment? Tuesday evening—a pretty momentous time as he was meeting with the School Sponsors Committee in Trier, discussing school district boundaries and more. Teuber took on the Trier SPD chair role in 2013, added city council duties, and—get this—is now the education policy spokesman for Rhineland-Palatinate's SPD faction in the state parliament.
Now, Teuber grins like a Cheshire Cat with Schweitzer's call. Ambition achieved, he's finally made it to a position he's dreamt of snagging for quite some time. His term as Minister of Education is primed to bring advancements and progress to the educational landscape of Rhineland-Palatinate[1].
