Interesting that teachers are no longer officials, I think I missed that development. Quite sad though then again some teachers are quite ... different in my experience so it might improve things a bit too.
- majewsky 8y agoActually, the trend has reversed: Teachers now get hired as officials again because there are not enough teachers and states are competing for them. Especially the East German states hire teachers as officials since salaries are not as competitive there.
- pluma 8y agoThe special status of "Beamter" is officially granted after a fixed time of service. However schools have avoided this by hiring teachers on temporary contracts, usually initially as substitute teachers. The contracts are then renewed as needed so some teachers ended up working for years but never reaching the threshold because they never had a permanent contract.
- blattimwind 8y agoThere's actually an even "better" twist on that done by some private school carriers (Schulträger); they simply hire teachers only for the teaching period (excluding school holidays) and re-hire before holidays end.
