„Teaching is a profession driven by ethical values and personal motivation. In this sense, teachers could well be satisfied with the teaching profession because it fulfils their personal goals, but at the same time they could be dissatisfied with their current job and working conditions.“

Österreich: „The lack of administrative support staff will make it difficult to give schools greater autonomy as this implies more tasks and responsibilities for school leaders.“

„In Finland, for example, a special teacher who is specifically trained to work with struggling students is assigned to each school and works closely with teachers to identify students who need extra help. Multi-professional care groups, consisting of the school principal, special education teacher, the school nurse, the school psychologist, a social worker, teachers and parents, meet periodically to discuss individual students’ learning progress.“

Österreich: „According to lower secondary principals’ reports, there was one administrative or managerial staff available for about 23 teachers, compared to a TALIS average ratio of 1 to 8, by far the worst ratio among participating countries. When looking at the ratio of administrative staff to students, the picture is similar. In Austria, there was one administrative or managerial staff for 221 students.“
OECD (Hrsg.), „OECD Reviews of School Resources – Austria“ (2016), S. 171
Finnland: „Each school has a group of staff that meets twice a month to assess the success of individual classrooms and potential concerns within classrooms. This group, comprising the principal, the school nurse, the special education teacher, the school psychologist, a social worker, and the classroom teachers, determines whether problems exist, as well as how to rectify them.“

„There was one pedagogical support staff for 263 students in Austria. This was, however, still much less than in various other countries like Denmark, Hungary, Norway and Poland. In Norway, the country with the lowest ratio, there was one pedagogical support worker for 78 students.“

Österreich: „The lack of pedagogical support staff is also of concern considering the apparent problem of bullying in schools. According to data from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey for 2009/10, 40 % of children aged 11, 13 and 15 reported having been bullied at school at least once in the past couple of months.“

„In 2010, 23.3 percent of comprehensive school students in Finland received extra instruction from a school-based Special Needs Education Teacher in the subjects in which the student needed help. Of this group, 12 percent received aid for a speech disorder, 40.5 percent received help in reading or writing, 23.7 percent for learning difficulties in mathematics, 9 percent for learning difficulties in foreign languages, 5.5 percent for adjustment difficulties or emotional disorders, and 8.9 percent for other learning difficulties.“

Teacher Assistants (TAs): „Teacher surveys and systematic observations also showed that TAs had a positive impact on students’ learning and behaviour, particularly in terms of improving students’ attitudes, behaviour and social skills, allowing individualisation and differentiation of tasks, and increasing classroom engagement and interaction with adults.“
Francesc Masdeu Navarro, „Learning support staff: A literature review“ (2015), S. 31

Englands Supportpersonal: „Their tasks usually include, for example, preparing material and equipment for lessons and working with small groups of students or individual students that need extra support due to instructional or behavioural challenges, which may happen in or out of a class. Their tasks can also include work with children with special educational needs. Teachers often may count with more than one teaching assistant in the classroom.“

„In Austria, there is one teaching support professional for every 24 teachers, compared to an average of 1/14 and even 1/7 in countries like Australia, Hungary, Poland and the Nordic countries.
