True, but in my state (BW), the 2021 birth rate was the highest in 50 years, and it has been higher than expected since 2016. Even if you have only 10,000 more newborns in year than expected, and assuming that 95% of these children are going to attend kindergarten at age 3 (as they currently are), you need a thousand more additional kindergarten teachers (assuming a teacher/children ratio of 1/10). This would've been a massive problem even without immigration.
- vidarh 4y agoI'm not at all doubting it's a problem, but it's a problem with poor risk management. The increase in birth rate in 2021 was around 5% it seems. If you don't have the slack in the system to handle a variation that small, or a plan to address it fast enough, then all kinds of other things could also mess it up.
