Hundreds of previously employed teachers in Berlin applied for civil servant status after the start of an online registration process on Wednesday morning.
In the first hours until noon, more than 1,200 such applications were received, the Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family announced. “Anyone who has or will be 52 years old in the current school year 2022/2023 or later can be a civil servant, provided that all personal and legal career requirements are met,” it said.
Overall, the authority expects that around 16,000 employed teachers can be made civil servants. The people had been informed of the procedure in a letter.
After 18 years of hiatus, Berlin was the last federal state to decide to re-enlist teaching staff. This is to counteract the shortage of skilled workers. There were many complaints about the migration of young teachers to other federal states. (dpa)
