Kretschmann comments on the valuable learning experiences gained from diverse educational backgrounds.
In Baden-Württemberg, the state's education system is undergoing strategic development phases, with a focus on high-performance computing and sustainability fields, extending to 2032 [1]. As part of these changes, it is likely that school structures and staffing will also be affected.
In a recent address in Stuttgart, Minister President Winfried Kretschmann suggested that high school teachers who cannot find a position at a high school in the coming years could consider teaching at another type of school temporarily [2]. While there is no direct information about temporary teaching jobs specifically linked to the 2032 nine-year high school expansion, it is reasonable to expect such opportunities to arise as the transition period approaches.
The expansion of the nine-year Gymnasium (high school) track is expected to require additional teaching staff on a temporary basis to manage overlapping cohorts of students and curriculum changes [3]. These temporary teaching positions are likely to be offered as fixed-term contracts or substitute teacher jobs, intended to cover the increased demand during the transition [4].
For up-to-date and specific opportunities, prospective teachers should monitor announcements from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Education and local school authorities, as official calls for temporary teachers would be published closer to implementation phases.
In the meantime, it's worth noting that approximately 360 high school teacher positions need to be filled for the upcoming school year in Baden-Württemberg, according to the Ministry of Education [5]. For those who may not secure a high school position next year, the ministry offers the opportunity to teach at another type of school temporarily, with the option to switch back to a high school after three years [6].
Minister President Winfried Kretschmann, a Green politician from Stuttgart, believes it's beneficial to have experience with students from other schools [7]. He stated that it's not a problem if some aspiring high school teachers don't get a position at a high school next year [8]. However, the number of aspiring high school teachers this might affect is not specified.
