Billions in funding for 900 schools in difficult situations. 60 percent of the funds are earmarked for the primary level.

The remainder is used to support secondary schools and training preparation in vocational colleges. First 400 schools in North Rhine-Westphalia should be selected by spring and funded from the new school year 2024/25. Two central criteria would be taken into account during the selection: the proportion of students with a migration history and the risk of poverty. The basis for the selection of schools will be the NRW school social index.
