Bildungszeit

Employees in Baden-Württemberg are entitled to educational leave from their employers. During this leave, employers must grant them time off whilst continuing to pay their salary. Employees are responsible for covering the costs of the educational programme (course fees) and, where applicable, travel and accommodation.

In this video, we explain briefly and clearly how you, as a member of staff at Heidelberg University of Education, can use educational leave for your professional and personal development.

With warm thanks to the Professional School for providing the video as part of the ‘Year of Continuing Education’ campaign

The Heidelberg University of Education is recognised as an educational institution under the Baden-Württemberg Educational Leave Act!

The answer is: Yes [I would take educational leave again]. I think it’s brilliant that your employer gives you time off to devote yourself fully to a particular topic for five days. [...] At the same time, with educational leave, the emphasis is on education rather than on leave – so from now on, I prefer the term ‘educational time’. And time for education is something we should all be making time for, especially nowadays.
