The new commissioner against discrimination at schools in Saxony, Natalija Bock, has started her work. In future, she will advise pupils, teachers and parents on a voluntary basis in cases of discrimination, the Ministry of Culture announced.
"I stand for a school where no one has to be afraid of being different," said the qualified teacher. Bock was born in Ukraine and has lived with her family in Dresden for more than 25 years.
