How do the protests in Saxony reflect broader trends in education funding and teacher working conditions in Germany?

The protests reflect a broader pattern of insufficient investment in education and inadequate support for educators in Saxony. The Saxon Ministry of Culture's proposed 21 measures to reduce lesson cancellations are deemed insufficient, particularly the postponement of the 'Altersermäßigung' (reduction in teaching hours for older teachers). The failure to implement the previously agreed-upon Kita-Moratorium (daycare freeze) further exacerbates the situation, threatening job losses for educators.
