AIB deals with the need to renovate Erlangen's elementary school

The advisory board sees these as the most important places to start learning and as the key to successful integration: at the beginning of May, the AIB held talks with the administration, politicians and stakeholders from the Anger district. It discussed the space and renovation problems at the Pestalozzi School and afternoon care in the district. The municipal school renovation program shows that comparatively little money has been invested in elementary school over the past 15 years - in contrast to grammar schools.
