NEOS founder Matthias Strolz talks to Jürgen Winterleitner in a krone.tv interview about the challenges in education and migration. For him, one thing is certain: "Good education policy is the best social policy." He calls for more investment in language support and clear migration rules. He does not rule out a political comeback. He would be available as education minister.

The founder of NEOS and current entrepreneur sees education as the key issue for Austria's future. "Good education policy is the best social policy, the best health policy," emphasizes Strolz in an interview with Jürgen Winterleitner on krone.tv.

For him, the integration of children from immigrant families in particular, some of whom still do not speak German after several years, is a failure of the education system: "I am convinced that if four and five-year-olds are supported for two years, they will be able to speak German fluently."

Strolz on migration: "Too many are coming"
He also sees a need for action in migration policy: "Too many are coming, we need to be stricter, like Canada is doing." At the same time, he calls for better integration for workers who are already in the country. "Every building pit, every hospital would grind to a halt without foreign workers." He calls for clear rules and emphasizes that education plays a key role in this.

Strolz does not rule out a political comeback: "When it comes to education, that's my life's work, I would take on responsibility again."
