Austria’s education minister, Christoph Wiederkehr, has agreed with regional and local authorities on reforms to expand school clusters, aiming to preserve small rural schools amid declining student numbers. The changes, part of a reform partnership, will remove teachers’ veto power over cluster formation, replacing it with a right to be heard, according to a political agreement cited by state broadcaster ORF .
The ministry targets 100 clusters by 2030, up from 72 in the 2025-26 school year, with a handful more planned for the current term. Clusters allow up to eight schools to share administrative and teaching resources, addressing teacher shortages in remote areas. Previously, one in three proposed clusters was abandoned due to anticipated teacher opposition, though only one formally failed because of a veto, ORF reported .
In Germany, researchers highlight time constraints as a key challenge for teachers. Frank Mußmann, a Göttingen-based working time researcher, found that administrative tasks now consume about 35% of teachers’ work time, up from 14% in the 1950s-60s, leaving less time for lesson preparation. A pilot project in Bremen, launched in August 2026, is testing digital time-tracking to assess workload distribution, with Mußmann providing scientific oversight .
Spain’s early education sector faces its own shortages, with a strike in Madrid entering its indefinite phase over low wages and high student-to-teacher ratios. Meanwhile, Helsinki has attracted over 1,000 Spanish applicants for 60 teaching positions, offering salaries of €3,298 gross monthly plus benefits, according to El Mundo .

INTERVJU Aleksandar Baucal, profesor Filozofskog fakulteta u Beogradu: Šta predviđa studentski plan za obrazovanje i ko su prihvatljivi koalicioni partneri? - Ključne tačke Studentskog programa za obrazovanje su besplatni udžbenici, obrazovanje kao javno dobro, a ne kao komercijalni interes, depolitizacija i unapređenje relevantnosti i kvaliteta obrazovanja. U osnovi tog programa je uverenje da je obrazovanje stub društva, jer bez dobrog obrazovanja nema dobrog društva, dobrog zdravstva, dobre privrede, nema ni dobrog sistema vrednosti. I možda najvažnije, bez dobrog obrazovanja nema ni dobrih i čestitih ljudi - kaže za Danas Aleksandar Baucal, profesor Filozofskog fakulteta u Beogradu, kandidat na "Studentskoj listi - Studenti pobeđuju".
