Education spending in Saarland is increasing, but remains at the bottom of the national comparison: financial expert analyses.

According to a report by www.tagesschau.de,

Education spending also rose again in Saarland last year. However, it remains at the bottom of the national comparison. The Ministry of Education apparently does not see any reason to act.

The fact that Saarland continues to take last place in the national comparison of education spending shows the urgent need to invest in the education sector. Despite an increase in education spending in Saarland to around 1,700 euros per inhabitant, this value is still well below the average of almost 2,100 euros in the other federal states. This discrepancy in educational spending could have long-term effects on the quality of education in Saarland, as fewer financial resources flow into equipping schools, universities and daycare centers.

The Ministry of Education's statements emphasizing increasing spending on education and increased investment in daycare centers should not obscure the main problem. The inadequate education spending in the state can lead to a decline in educational quality and equal opportunities.

It is crucial that the state government in Saarland takes the long-term effects of a minimal education budget seriously and finds sustainable solutions to increase investment in education. This is the only way to guarantee the quality of education and future opportunities for the young generation in Saarland.
