Wiederkehr Establishes School Leadership Advisory Board for the First Time

The National Student Representation and Parent Advisory Board already play an advisory role through regular exchanges. Now, the new advisory board is also intended to provide the ministry with direct feedback from and consultation with the school administrations, it was announced in a press release on Friday.

"The installation of the School Leadership Advisory Board will further strengthen school partnership and school autonomy," said Education Minister Wiederkehr (NEOS). The school administrations bring a holistic view of school processes and needs, serve as a link between school partners (student, parent, and teacher representation), and can offer "valuable insights" into operational challenges and the implementation of educational reforms.

Establishment of a School Leadership Advisory Board

Isabella Zins, representative of the AHS school leadership, expects from the advisory board, according to the press release, that the principals can "contribute their expertise and practical experiences even better now" and thus contribute to the further development of schools. Through the establishment of the advisory board, in which representatives of various school types represent their specific needs, cooperation and networking between the federal states should also be improved.
