Saucing Up Saxon Schools with EU Coin!
Additional schools in Saxony receive financial support - Additional schools in Saxony granted financial support
Hey there! So, here's some spicy news - seven more vocational schools in Saxony are going to be sprinkled with a hefty dose of EU cash for some shiny new gear and construction projects. Did you hear that? Over 1.3 million euros from the Just Transition Fund (JTF) and co-funds from the Free State are up for grabs!
The State Ministry of Education spilled the beans, revealing these funds to help adapt vocational training to the ever-changing demands of the job market and beef up the skilled workforce in regions that could use a boost.
Now, what's in it for the schools, you ask? Here's the lowdown:
- The Vocational School Center (BSZ) Leipziger Land is getting around 325k euros for a facelift on their specialized workspaces.
- The BSZ Eilenburg is going to score about 304k euros for new heating tech to keep the learning warm.
- The BSZ Löbau is getting close to 256k euros for new specialized workspaces and workshops.
The Just Transition Fund ain't just dishing out cash to anyone; it's all about helping regions dealing with structural changes towards a green economy. Places like the Lusatian Revier (Bautzen and Görlitz districts) and the Central German Revier (Leipzig, Leipziger Land, and Nordsachsen districts), as well as good ol' Chemnitz, are in the running for these funds.
So what does this mean for the long haul? Well, in previous rounds, they already dished out cash to schools in Leipzig, Wurzen, Chemnitz, Bautzen, and Niesky, among others. they're sitting on around 43 million euros in the bag from EU and state funds for the 2021–2027 period. This sweet deal covers up to 90% of eligible costs.
But wait, what about Leipzig and Dresden? The search for EU funding for construction projects and modern equipment in these cities was fruitless, but it's safe to say that Saxony's vocational education scene may be taking a green turn, including possibly Leipzig and Dresden, so keep your eyes peeled for more announcements!
In other news, sweet projects like "Integra Mittelsachsen" are making waves in the region, focusing on integrating skills and promoting regional development, all backed by federal funds. However, these projects don't specifically target Leipzig and Dresden in terms of EU funding.
As for innovative education funded by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF Plus) and the Free State of Saxony, there's a chance that it might include things like vocational training or further education. But, for now, it ain't directly related to construction projects in Leipzig and Dresden. Stay tuned for more updates!
- The community policy in Saxony is expected to receive financial support from the European Union's Just Transition Fund, aiming to provide vocational training for a skilled workforce, particularly in regions dealing with structural changes towards a green economy.
- The funding from the Just Transition Fund and the Free State of Saxony may not directly include construction projects in Leipzig and Dresden, but there might be opportunities for innovative education and vocational training, as seen in projects like "Integra Mittelsachsen."
