Verdi's Call for Comprehensive Action on Kita Moratorium

Corinna Hersel of Verdi has expressed cautious support for the upcoming Kita moratorium, which aims to help providers maintain staff levels amidst declining child numbers and increasing educational demands. While acknowledging the importance of this measure, Hersel emphasizes that it is insufficient on its own.

She advocates for a structured plan to enhance the staff-child ratio, addressing the alarming rates of absenteeism among early childhood educators in Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. This step is essential to alleviate the pressure faced by professionals in the sector and ensure better educational outcomes for children.
