Comment / Future Development

The Ministry of Education has granted municipalities and private education providers special state subsidies totalling EUR 118.8 million for developing teaching, support measures and guidance counselling for learners in particular need of support. These measures will be targeted, among others, at developing the teaching and teaching methods for pre-school aged children through to year nine. The focal point in the teaching of children who need special support will shift to providing the child with support at a very early stage before the needs escalate.
