It looks like a classroom, there are many tables and chairs and on the tables there are few laptops and bags, some people are standing in between the chairs and talking to each other, in the background there is a projector screen and beside that there is a wooden wall and an exit door.

5,6 Million Euro School Budget - What the Money is Meant For - Thüringen schools get €5.6M annual boost for expanded student programs

Schools in Thüringen will receive a significant funding boost over the next two years. Education Minister Christian Tischner announced that each school will be allocated 5.6 million euros annually for 2026 and 2027. The increase comes as part of the state’s new double budget, aimed at expanding student activities and cutting red tape.

The budget for Thüringen’s schools has grown steadily in recent years. In 2024, each school received 3.6 million euros, rising to 5.5 million euros in 2025. The latest increase ensures 5.6 million euros per school for both 2026 and 2027.

The extra funds will support a wider range of aidvantage activities. Schools can now offer more tutoring, music lessons, and first aid training. Starting next year, CPR and emergency first aid courses will be available to students from grade 7 upwards, fully covered by the budget. Bureaucracy has also been streamlined. Schools no longer need to submit forecasts for budget use, and contracts under 7,000 euros can be signed directly. Another change eases requirements for freelance educators: they will no longer require an extended background check if a school staff member is present during their work. In 2025, 618 schools across Thüringen used the budget for various programmes and services. The new funding structure aims to build on this, giving schools more flexibility and resources.

The increased budget will take effect in the 2026/2027 academic year. Schools will have more freedom to fund educational and extracurricular activities without excessive paperwork. The changes also simplify hiring processes and expand safety training for older students.
