The DigitalPakt Schule, the federal program of 2019 to bring digital technology into schools, had a clear rule: Keine Förderung ohne Qualifizierung der Lehrenden und ohne technisch-pädagogisches Einsatzkonzept. (No funding without training for the teachers and without a technical and teaching plan for how the equipment will be used.) The school authority and the teaching staff had to draw up this plan together before funding was granted. In July 2020, the teachers’ news site News4teachers called the required media development plan eine bürokratische Kopfgeburt, a bureaucratic invention of the mind. A blank template from Baden-Württemberg ran to 37 pages. The state media center said that only six of them were mandatory.
