The Austrian authorities were forced to hire additional teachers to teach Ukrainian children

About 11,000 Ukrainian children will study in Austrian schools next academic year. Such a large number of students posed a difficult task for the authorities to find places for them in schools and attract new teachers to the educational process. According to APA, an additional 433 teachers had to be hired because of the Ukrainians.

Of these, 116 teachers returned to work from retirement, another 88 were closed at the expense of Ukrainian teachers who came to the country, and 33 came to teach before graduating from universities.

Most teachers were hired in Upper Austria (126), followed by Vienna (85), Tyrol (71), Styria (65), Lower Austria (39), Burgenland (23), Salzburg (17), Vorarlberg (6), and Carinthia (1).

The most significant number of Ukrainian children in Austrian schools is registered in Vienna (3200), followed by Lower Austria (2600), Upper Austria (1400), Styria (1300), Tyrol (900), Salzburg (600), Burgenland (500), Carinthia ( 400) and Vorarlberg (300).

It should be noted that public school education in Austria is free. Education in stages - elementary school (up to grade 4), middle and high school. Completion of primary and secondary school is compulsory.

There are also private educational institutions in the country. For a year of a child's education in an elite private boarding school in Austria, parents will pay € 30,000.

Let's add that Austria accepted on its territory more than 70 thousand Ukrainian refugees. Most of them are women with children. The monthly allowance in Austria is 215 euros per adult and 100 euros per child.
