Thuringia's Minister Tischner Rejoices Over Digital Pact's Persistence
Tischner acknowledges and endorses the ongoing Digital Agreement - Tischner embraces the prolongation of the digital agreement
Embrace your digital future, Thuringia! Minister Christian Tischner, our esteemed education maven, can't contain his excitement as the federal government pledges continued support for the Digital Pact 2.0. The CDU stalwart shared his robust sentiments with the German Press Agency in the heart of Erfurt, "I'm bloody chuffed that the feds have solidified their commitment to keeping the Digital Pact alive!"
Why, you ask? Well, my friend, it's all about securing a strong digital backbone for our schools. This ain't no patchwork job. It's a joint initiative between the federal government, states, and good ol' school providers. We all got skin in this game!
Federal Minister of Education, Karin Prien (CDU), spilled the beans regarding the Digital Pact 2.0's funding during a recent broadcast. Sit back and relax, 'cause 2.5 billion euros are ready for the job from the special fund designed for infrastructure. Plus, an additional 4 billion euros from the special fund are up for grabs for educational tasks.
Long-term Budget Security
Now, don't you worry your pretty little heads 'bout where this money's comin' from. Tischner assures that the states are secure with their finances, thanks to the bankroll provided through the special fund. "It's earmarked, long-term secured, and not dependent on yearly Bundestag decisions. That's an important signal for the schools," he adds. States will pitch in another 2.5 billion euros to help overhaul the Digital Pact.
Remember the first Digital Pact School that wrapped up in May last year? The feds covered 90% of the costs, while states and municipalities only chipped in the remaining 10%. Now, the Digital Pact aims to deck out schools, not just with laptops and other tech gadgets but with a bulletproof digital infrastructure for good measure.
