It wishes to staff every educational institution at 110% to prevent a shortage of teaching staff.{{Cite web |date=2023-02-06 |title=Die größten Kleinen |url=https://www.rbb24.de/politik/wahl/abgeordnetenhaus/agh-2023/beitraege/berlin-wiederholungswahl-agh-kleine-parteien.html |access-date=2024-01-13 |website=www.rbb24.de |language=de}} The party additionally wants to insure that educational institutions are clean and well digitally equipped.https://bildet-berlin.studiojersch.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/2021_05_28_BB_kompakt.pdf
