The village schools should be preserved as far as possible. As a result, the place of residence and school location for the children from the first to fourth grades are close to the area in order to strengthen the later community in the locality. From the fifth grade onwards, all-day schools in Wittenberg offer both better prospects for the future and good support. However, activities and workshops on topics such as nature, sport and history should be offered in village and urban areas. This allows parents to continue to work and encourage them. Better networking between schools would enable cooperation between primary and secondary schools and thus connect different age groups and social classes. Special schools could move closer to the city center. In addition, students should generally be introduced to higher educational institutions at an early stage, e.g. B. Cooperations with universities and technical colleges.
Objectively speaking, building use prevents further decay. In the past, it was common practice in the region around Wittenberg to use sponsors and volunteers to finance, support and maintain the buildings.
