Leipzig's schools in the crisis: Refurbishment of the Paul Robeson School postponed!

Jungmannstraße 5, 04229 Leipzig, Deutschland - in Leipzig, the news causes excitement that the urgently needed complete renovation of the Paul Robeson School was postponed indefinitely-until 2035! Parent representative Katja Vogel expressed her deep disappointment in the city council and criticized the city administration for lack of communication and support. "We are not just extras in this process," she emphasized, while school mayor Vicki Felthaus tried to explain the situation.

The school problems are serious: broken windows to inadequate fire protection, which has not been remedied for years. Teachers and parents demand solutions, but the city administration remains arrested in its strategy, which only provides for renovation in an empty building. Critics, as City Councilor Enrico Stange, criticize the lack of planning and warn: "It does not look like planned action." In addition, parents have to become active themselves in order to have the school's water supply tested because the city does not react in time. The school community does not feel valued and sees its concerns ignored, while the city continues to rely on other projects. Further information can be found here .
