Vienna – Since 2012, youth coaching has been intended to keep young people aged 15 and over in school or training or to bring them back into the system after dropping out. According to the evaluation, the measure is a success; politicians have often promoted it as an important factor for the comparatively low youth unemployment in Austria. Because of the tight budget, savings have to be made here too; a third of the offer at the AHS and BHS is being lost. This is causing a stir in schools.
