District deputy Krug attends his old school - insight into learning!

Grebenau, Deutschland - The district committee of the Vogelsberg district has again shown how important the schools in the region are. On June 17, 2025, the first district deputy Patrick Krug visited the Astrid Lindgren School (ALS) in Grebenau, where he himself pressed the school desk between 1994 and 1999. He was accompanied by Stefan Schmidt, the head of the building office, energy and building industry, as well as Matthias Röse, the head of the office for school education and support. Together they explored the school's premises, which play a special role in Vogelsbergkreis with around 100 children and twelve committed teachers.

The AB is particularly characterized by their entrance level, which promotes children from the age of five in the first two school years. After two years, the change to second class takes place. Headmistress Susanne Sündermann-Otto and her colleague Manuela Eichler led the guests through classrooms, childcare rooms as well as the schoolyard, which comes up with a soccer field, climbing opportunities and a small forest.

fit for the future with all -day offers

But the visit was not just nostalgia. The Astrid Lindgren School plans to expand its childcare offer and to switch to the full day from the school year 2026/27. From August 1, 2026, all children of primary school age have a legal entitlement to all -day care, which means that the school is actively working on the implementation of this important topic. The all -day offers promote the professional, social and individual development of the children and are particularly popular with families with low -resources. In total, all children of grades 1 to 4 should be entitled to all -day education and care by 2029.

The federal government supports this change with a huge investment volume of 3.5 billion euros for infrastructure and equipment. The federal states take part in the costs with 30 percent in order to advance the implementation. "The quality of the all -day offers is crucial for their positive effect on education and skills," emphasizes the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, which also uses the results of accompanying research to further develop the education system.

challenges and solutions

During the school attendance, Patrick Krug showed understanding for the limited spatial conditions of the AB. "Large investments are difficult due to the current budget situation," he said. Nevertheless, smaller measures are planned, such as the renovation of the basement to create storage space, to improve the conditions for optimal support and teaching design as a whole.

The Astrid Lindgren School is therefore faced with exciting challenges that affect not only all children, but also the entire school and family community in Vogelsbergkreis. "We have a great interest in a well -running school company and will continue to support the school family," Krug finally assured. With a clear plan for the future and the commitment to the all -day offer, the school is on a promising way.
