Røe Isaksen accused of lærerbløff – Adresseavisen

the Case is updated.

– Here is the reason to fear lærerbløff from kunnskapsministeren, says SV leader Audun Lysbakken to the NTB.

He refers to a response that the party has received from the ministry of education on the question of how many new teaching positions that have come out in the municipalities as a result of last year’s budsjettavtale between the government and the samarbeidspartiene.

the Ministry has no figures on how many jobs the scheme has been triggered, or how many schools are affected, ” says Lysbakken.

No warranty

– This is completely common practice for earmarked funds, ” says education ms. Torbjørn Røe Isaksen (H) to the NTB.

– the Money we have given, can only go to new teaching positions in the first to the fourth grade, but it is ultimately the municipalities themselves that decide over their budget. Therefore, we can not guarantee that all in all is been several teaching positions all places, but it is very likely then, continue Røe Isaksen.

– in Summary, the Minister have no idea. We get messages from several municipalities that it be cut instead to focus on the new teaching positions. What actually is the effect of what would have been a big boost, know the government is obviously zero and nothing at all about, the answer Lysbakken.

Better-requirements

Several teaching positions in småskolen promoted as requirements of the Sector also in the ongoing budsjettforhandlingene. The party leader Knut Arild Hareide believes the proposal the government has put forward, this means 600 fewer teachers in småskolen and 600 fewer on the lower secondary.

In the Norwegian Parliament in October, he showed that the Progress through the last two budsjettavtalene has been given the green light to allocate in total 520 million more to a total of 1,700 new teaching positions. This year’s budget proposal covers, however, only the betting for the autumn, while the full year effect of the initiative on the early efforts of 1. to 4. step is not loaded.

Hareide believes an estimated 450 million is missing in the proposal of the government budget, while Røe Isaksen maintains that 187 million was given as engangsmidler. In budsjettforliket turn it stuck the municipalities shall be notified that the funds will not be continued.

– It is wrong to misrepresent a lump sum that does not continue in the subsequent budget, as a cut, points out the minister.
