Classes begin for 74,400 children and young people. The situation in the classrooms is characterized by a shortage of staff. Head teachers are also hard to find. "They are being saddled with too much bureaucracy," the union sounds the alarm. 

First day at Salzburg schools: Over the summer, the search for staff was in full swing. Three advertisements resulted in 400 new teachers being found. In addition, around 600 contracts were extended and support was provided by students who were on the board earlier, as well as lateral entrants. 30 additional teachers with a related professional background have been recruited.
