The way in which schools organize themselves must be more flexible, based on the specific needs of that school, especially in times of teacher shortages. That is the view of Walentina Cools, general director of the Educational Association of Cities and Municipalities (OVSG). “Why stick to class days Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm?” she says. The fundamental cause of the teacher shortage is the lack of employees in general, according to Flemish education minister Ben Weyts (N-VA). He thinks it is urgent to limit unemployment benefits in time.
