Prote parents: School campus Buckenberg becomes a ghetto!

The planned school campus on the Buckenberg in Pforzheim ensures heated debates among affected parents. Many find the plans insufficient for a real inclusion. The construction of a large area on Strietweg is planned, which, in addition to the already existing Buckenberg School, should also include the bored school for children with learning problems and the Gustav-Heinemann school for children with special needs. Critics point out that the desired school form is more like a ghetto than an integrative educational institution, as the members of the self-help group "Upsidesown" highlight-a group of parents who have taken care of children with Down syndrome and have been active since 2002 to collect voices and draw attention to grievances, as BNN reported.

The discussion is also heated up by a concern of the planned financing of 200 million euros and the rejection of an architectural competition by various municipal council committees. The point to the new building did not make it to the agenda of the upcoming meeting of the local council. Despite these concerns, there are also positive voices for the Buckenberg School, which is already recognized as an inclusion location and is estimated in the community.

sustainability goals in the focus

In parallel to these discussions, the school campus Buckenberg also follows the implementation of the UN Sustainability goals , in particular the goal 4 for high-quality education and goal 11 for sustainable cities. These goals are aimed at creating and creating fair educational institutions that involve all children. Theoretically, this approach could invalidate the concerns of some parents, but is strongly opposed to the concerned concerns about the planned concept. It remains to be seen how the discussions develop and which solutions are found to meet the needs of all those affected.
