Sehr geehrte Abgeordnete und NRW-KandidatInnen! Die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer des Gymnasium Bregenz Gallusstraße haben im Rahmen einer Dienststellenversammlung am 20. September 2013 den Entwurf „Neues Dienstrecht – Pädagogischer Dienst“, der ohne Zustimmung der LehrerInnenvertreter am 29. August ausgeschickt worden ist, diskutiert. Veränderte Anforderungen an Schule und Unterricht haben unsere Arbeitsbedingungen in den letzten Jahren stark verändert. Individualisierung des Unterrichts, soziale Integration, vielfältige Unterrichts- und Lernformen, Beratung und Förderung, Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung, gleichzeitig aber mehr als ein Jahrzehnt restriktiver Bildungs-Budgetpolitik haben die Arbeitsbelastung und unsere tatsächliche Arbeitszeit enorm erhöht. Reduzierte Lehrverpflichtungen aus gesundheitlichen Gründen, Überbelastung von Kolleginnen und Kollegen und Burnout sind Folgen dieser Entwicklung. Der aktuelle Bericht des Boltzmann-Instituts zum Thema „Gesundheit bei LehrerInnen“ zeigt diese Problematik deutlich auf. Wir wünschen uns Klarheit und Transparenz über unsere tatsächlichen Leistungen und Arbeitsbedingungen und wollen uns nicht auf das beschämende Niveau der in den letzten Wochen von Dienstgeberseite betriebenen Miesmacherei begeben.

  • The House of Austrian History a Press Report
    Journal of Social Science Education Volume 18 Issue 1 Fall 2019 Documentation DOI 10.4119/jsse-1281 "Austria is celebrating itself” The House of Austrian History A Press Report Bernhard Trautwein University of Vienna – The opening of the Haus der Geschichte Österreich (HGÖ - House of Austrian History) is the culmination of a discussion which has taken nearly one hundred years. – The discussion is the result of a struggle between political parties over the right to seek a definite interpretation of the Austrian interwar period. – The didactical-conceptual orientation of the announced project has the potential to both discuss and question politically influenced interpretations of the Austrian interwar period. Purpose: On the occasion of its one hundredth birthday, the Republic of Austria has opened a history museum in November 2018 called the House of Austrian History. The considerations towards this are almost as old as the republic itself. This article shall analyze why political parties could not agree on a specific project for so long and illustrate the decision-making process and its implementation before ultimately categorizing the didactical-museographical concept of the exhibition from a historical-didactical perspective. Design/methodology/approach: The basis for the analysis is provided by Austrian daily newspaper coverage of the House of Austrian History. The body of sources limits itself to the period between January 2008 and January 2019 and has been evaluated based on the analysis of its content. Findings: In the course of the discussion, which preceded the opening of the House of Austrian History, the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) and the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) debated bitterly for decades about how to best interpret Austrian contemporary history and were unable to find common ground.

  • Is Austrian Budgetary Policy Still “Political”? a Cross-Time Comparison of Budget Speeches1
    Research Article Is Austrian budgetary policy still “political”? A cross-time comparison of budget speeches1 Johannes Karremans, Johann Kaltenleithner University of Salzburg [email protected] Abstract This paper investigates whether and how the democratic feedback loop between the government and parliament has been affected in Austrian budgetary policy-making. The question stems from the observation that since 2009 the budgetary policy- making process has been substantially affected by both national and European reforms, with some scholars arguing that budgetary policy today has become a bureaucratic rather than a political exercise. Through a comparative content analysis of finance ministers’ budget speeches we show that this is not the case and that instead – compared to the past – the share of political discourse has remained substantial. Furthermore, we find that today Austrian governments present the parliament with more detailed information about their planned expenditures and taxations, and that these plans are linked more strongly to the governing parties’ manifestos rather than the European country-specific recommendations. Keywords accountability; Austrian politics; budgetary policy; European Semester; party-government Ist die österreichische Budgetpolitik noch “politisch”? Ein zeitübergreifender Vergleich von Budgetreden Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag stellt den Anspruch, zu ergründen, ob und auf welche Weise die demokratische Rückkopplungsschleife zwischen Regierung und Parlament im Bereich der österreichischen

    INTERNATIONAL CONSULTATIVE STATUS NON-GOVERNMENTAL WITH THE ECONOMIC AND ORGANISATION SOCIAL COUNCIL (ECOSOC) OF THE UNITED NATIONS VIENNA ECECONOONOMIC FORUM MEETINGS 2012 History of a Vision INTRODUCTION Dear Members of Vienna Economic Forum! We have the pleasure to report about another successful Vienna Economic Forum year 2012! Vienna Economic Forum is proud that the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations at its Substantive Session of July 2012 adopted the recommendation of the Committee on Non-Governmental Organiza- tions (NGOs) to grant Special consultative status to Vienna Economic Forum. The Special consultative status of Vienna Economic Forum enables us to actively engage with ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies, as well as with the United Nations Secretariat, programmes, funds and agencies in a number of ways. In 2012 we organized „Vienna Economic Talks – Sofia Meeting“ under the motto „Liberalisation of Markets in the Region South-Eastern Europe“ in cooperation with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) in April, „Vienna Economic Talks – Meet Turkey in Vienna 2012“ under the motto „Turkey – Important Player in the Regional Economy“ in cooperation with Vienna Insurance Group, Ray Sigorta A.S. Turkey and Verbund AG in June, and our 9th Vienna Economic Forum „Quo vadis, Europe? Regional Cooperation for European Integration“ in November 2012 in Palais Niederösterreich in Vienna, Austria. This year our 11th Traditional Garden Party „Culinary and musical journey through the partner countries of Vienna Economic Forum“ took place in the garden of the Embassy of Ukraine. According to our motto „for a better understanding“ we had the reason to celebrate one event together, which also unites all people around the world, entrepreneurs, politicians, artists and sportsmen – the European Football Championship, which took place in this year both in Ukraine and in Poland and we want to thank the Ambassador of Ukraine and the whole VEF- Ambassadors Committee for our outstanding and intensive good cooperation.
