SPD/UWG coalition embraces the addition of new schools in Bersenbrück and Bad Laer
New Special Needs Schools Open in Bersenbrück and Bad Laer
After much anticipation and uncertainty, the new school year marks the opening of two special needs schools in Bersenbrück and Bad Laer, focusing on intellectual development.
The schools, which will operate in parallel at both facilities from the coming school year, have been the result of collaborative efforts between local political groups, district administrations, and state educational authorities. Jutta Olbricht, chairperson of the SPD/UWG group in the district council, emphasized the importance of joint action and cooperation in achieving this success.
In Bersenbrück, all existing classes before August 2025 will continue with the daycare center, while new classes will be part of the new special needs school. On the other hand, the school in Bad Laer will begin with a "new" 1st grade and an existing Tabi class, grade 5, with one class having been converted from the daycare center system.
Discussions on site with the directors of the Bersenbrück and Bad Laer schools, Guido Uhl and Hendrik Auf der Landwehr, respectively, took place in the spring. The further development of these special needs schools has been successful, providing planning security for the facilities, employees, and most importantly, the children and parents of both schools.
Jutta Olbricht expressed her joy over the planning security provided for both schools, stating that this is a significant step towards ensuring quality education for children with special needs in the district. The establishment of these schools not only offers a structured learning environment but also provides a sense of community and support for these children and their families.
However, specific details about the background, the development of the schools in Bersenbrück and Bad Laer, and the exact nature of the cooperation between these entities would require access to local government reports, press releases, or educational authority documents that discuss these projects in detail. Despite the lack of such sources in the provided search results, it is clear that the establishment of these specialized schools for intellectual development is a testament to the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders.
As the school year begins, the communities of Bersenbrück and Bad Laer welcome the opening of these special needs schools, offering hope and opportunities for children with intellectual disabilities.
The new special needs schools in Bersenbrück and Bad Laer cater to education-and-self-development, being focused on intellectual development. Jutta Olbricht, a key figure in the project, emphasizes the importance of this initiative as a significant step towards ensuring quality education for children with special needs in the district, providing not just a structured learning environment but also fostering a sense of community and support.
