Procedure details

Purpose

Grants are awarded to promote measures to activate the educational and training potential of young people, which are provided for in Priority 1 of the Bavaria ESF+ 2021 to 2027 - Working and Living in Bavaria - Future Opportunities for Europe program.

Object

The subject of the funding is the elements of the tied all-day offer that go beyond the half-day offer, in particular the associated additional socio-educational support and supervision.

German classes can be set up at primary and secondary schools for pupils with a non-German mother tongue who enter the Bavarian education system as lateral entrants at full-time school age. For some of these classes, a tied all-day offer is to be promoted, which supplements the existing support provided by the German class and, in particular, compensates for the disadvantages caused by the migration background by providing support that meets the special requirements of the target group. This enables the children to enter the Bavarian education system in a way that is appropriate to their talents, accelerates the transition to the regular German-language classes and supports the development of their educational and training potential at an early stage.

Recipients of funding

The school authorities of public or state-recognized schools are eligible to apply.

Eligible costs

Eligible for funding from the ESF+ are the necessary personnel and material expenses of the project sponsor that can be specifically allocated to the funded project, less project-related income.

Type and amount

The funding amounts to a maximum of EUR 30,000.00 per school year and is granted as shortfall funding.

  • The period of the measure extends from September 1 of the year in which the measure begins to August 31 of the following year.
  • The tied all-day program must have been approved by the Bavarian State Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs. Approval must also be granted by the responsible state education authority.
  • Pupils who are resident or ordinarily resident in Bavaria can take part in the all-day German classes, depending on the target group.
  • At least 13 pupils are required to form a class. Falling below the minimum number of pupils on the relevant cut-off date (October 1 of the respective school year) is not detrimental to funding if the responsible state education authority permits a shortfall.
  • In addition to the offer provided for German classes in half-day form, the tied all-day offer includes an educational offer of at least 12 teacher hours per week, which is provided by teachers.
  • Socio-educational support must be guaranteed as part of the tied all-day offer for German classes. A minimum of 15 teaching units per school week must be guaranteed for the socio-educational support. For the above-mentioned socio-educational support, the school authority may deploy its own staff or suitably qualified staff from a third party ("cooperation partner").
  • Additional external staff from a third party ("cooperation partner") or a local authority can cover the additional personnel costs for extracurricular education and care services as part of the tied all-day program.
  • There must be a labor market policy, social policy or regional requirement. The existence of this requirement must be substantiated by a statement from the locally responsible state education authority. In the case of state schools, this requirement is deemed to have been met if the state education authority is involved in setting up the classes. Funding is excluded for projects that receive grants from the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) or other EU programs (multiple funding).
