School start in 2025: Landshut is planning new primary schools despite a shortage of teachers!
Today, September 12, 2025, we are looking forward to developments in the education sector in our region. The Landshut District Office recently provided information on the Landshut City and Country school districts. There is positive news: elementary and middle schools are seeing slight increases, indicating good stability. This is particularly pleasing as preparations for two new primary schools in the region are in full swing.
These start-ups bring with them a lot of administrative challenges. On the agenda are the exclusion of students, the filling of school management positions and the securing of teaching staff. Even though changes are often associated with fear, the district office emphasizes that there will be no disadvantages for the children who are transferred to the new schools. The new school buildings are also structurally designed for modern, open forms of learning, which will significantly enrich the learning process.
Positive prospects for teacher supply
The 2025/26 school year starts with positive signs, especially when it comes to teacher supply. According to the district office, primary schools feel well positioned, although there are challenges for teachers, especially for employees and students in the mobile reserve. A special teacher health initiative is being planned to promote the well-being of teachers.
An interesting aspect in this context is the assessment of experts on the future situation on the teacher market. A study by the Bertelsmann Foundation from January 2024 predicts that the shortage of teachers in primary schools could soon be overcome. This trend reversal is primarily attributed to the declining birth rates. However, in the discussion about the education sector it is also emphasized that the interpretations of the statistics can depend on the perspective. Ultimately, falling school enrollment numbers could reduce the need for teachers by 14%, as shown in the study.
Increasing demands on teachers
In addition, the new subject “Secure Basis” will be introduced from the 2024/25 school year, which will lead to an increase in teaching hours. At an average primary school in Lower Saxony, additional teachers are required for full-time operation and for the new subject, resulting in an additional requirement of 59 teaching hours. This could result in an hourly target increase of an impressive 15%.
However, statements about a possible “teacher glut” should be treated with caution, as is also mentioned in the study. Many commentators call for this issue to be questioned before making definitive statements. Ultimately, there will only be a real teacher glut when the future teachers are actually hired.
Overall, the educational situation in Landshut is positive, but also associated with challenges. The district office calls on parents and legal guardians to work together in trust with schools and teachers in order to jointly create the best conditions for our children. We can't wait to see what developments will look like in the coming years.
