New principal Häusler: Digitization as a key to the future in Oberding!

Oberding, Deutschland - In Oberding there is a new wind at primary and middle school. Florian Häusler was presented as the new principal and thus succeeds Dagmar Burger, which will retire at the end of the year. Mayor Bernhard Mücke took the opportunity to point out the challenges in school policy and to criticize the state government. He complained that, unlike Oberding, many municipalities cannot afford the complete equipment with digital devices.

"We have equipped our schools step by step with tablet computers for two years," explained Münde, while Häusler explained his visions for digital education in Oberding. The 39-year-old, who grew up in Dingolfing and studied secondary school at the University of Passau, already brought experience from his many years of work at the school. He has been teaching here since 2011 and also worked as a specialist advisor and coordinator for digital education.

on the digital equipment

Häusler, who is married and has a four -year -old daughter, plans to use digital platforms that work both in class and at home. There are currently 100 tablets on his school, and Oberding Middle School is one of the 50 Bavarian profile schools for computer science and future technologies. However, this development comes at a time when the Bavarian state government under Prime Minister Markus Söder recently made a retraction in terms of digital education. Der Spiegel reported that the digital expansion at Söder no longer reported Speed ​​is to be continued.

The more school authorities and teachers hope that the announced digital strategy will really be implemented. At the Karl-Peter-Obermaier-Mittelschule in Bad Kötzting, for example, digital solutions have been used for years as part of the “Digital School of the Future” model test. There, too, the lessons run partly with tablets and students: inside have developed a common understanding of the use of these technologies. Die Süddeutsche reports that schoolchildren have been working with digital tools for years and that the teachers are enthusiastic about the use of artificial intelligence and other digital aids.

on the right track?

But the criticism of Mayor Mücke is not unfounded: his words that the schools are often used as the “guinea pig” of the state government show the uncertainty and the pressure under which many teachers work. It remains to be seen how the digital landscape will develop in Bavaria's schools and whether the efforts to provide comprehensive digital equipment actually bring the hoped -for progress.

The coming months will be crucial to see whether the initiatives of Häusler at the elementary and middle school Oberding can also serve as a lighthouse for other schools and whether politics provides the necessary funds so that every school in the district can benefit from digitization.
