Inflation has impacted or will negatively impact the cost of the school year for Spaniards, who will spend an average of 419 euros per child, although they see digital tools as a way to save between 11 % and 30 %.

Compared to last year, an increase in the average cost per child of 94.84 euros is perceived. The autonomous communities most affected by inflation are Asturias, Canarias, Aragón, Castilla y León and the Community of Madrid. This is how a recent survey carried out by the GoStudent private class platform collects it.

53 % of Spaniards allocate between 11 % and 30 % of their salary to expenses related to going back to school and consider that the use of digital tools can help minimize this expense: 43 % of parents in our country think that, for example, e-books or online tutoring could help them save considerably.

On the other hand, those surveyed affirm that this year the cost per child will rise to 419 euros on average compared to 324 euros the previous year, which represents an increase of almost 30 %. The great part of this expense comes from the purchase of books and school supplies, uniforms as well as extracurricular and support activities (73 % of Spanish parents have enrolled their children in private classes at least once and 52 % are considering it) for the new course.

Another of the noteworthy aspects of the study is that 72 % consider private online classes as a good way to save resources, thanks to their flexible nature and variety of schedules. And, more specifically, almost 50 % of those surveyed affirm that the use of private online classes will help save on their children’s academic training during this course.

New technologies stand out in the educational sector

The students that today are found in primary and secondary classrooms are digital natives and for this reason the educational sector is adopting new technologies to incorporate new ways of teaching through video games, artificial intelligence (AI) or computer science virtual reality.

The applications of technologies such as AI allow the creation of personalized educational plans for each student based on the profile and needs of each student. In Spain, 23 % of schools have adaptive learning tools. In addition, ‘online’ tutorials already account for 14 % of the total number of private classes that take place every day.

According to the GoStudent Education Report, Spanish parents have the best opinion about adaptive learning and the use of artificial intelligence in education. 55 % welcome these technologies taking part in their children’s education.

The rate planned in Germany for all final gas consumers will be applied from October 1st, sources from the Ministry of the Economy announced today.

The exact amount of the surcharge will be published online in mid- to late-August and will depend on compensation requests made by gas importers, it added.

Economy Minister Robert Habeck estimates that it will cost consumers several hundred euros per household per year. The amount of the rate has not yet been specified, but it will be between 1.5 and 5 euro cents per kilowatt hour (same value in dollars), said the Greens party politician.

Secure gas supply

The Government argues that the rate is necessary to ensure energy supply, so that no supplier has to declare insolvency due to the increase in its costs due to the sharp rise in gas purchase prices due to cuts in Russian supplies.

Companies can use it in this way to transfer part of their higher costs to final consumers, and the Government has promised aid for households that, because of the increases, fall below the poverty line. “This is not a good step, but it is a necessary step,” Habeck said without elaborating.

Last week, Chancellor Olaf Scholz mentioned a gas price increase of two cents per kilowatt hour and spoke of additional charges of 200 or 300 euros a year for a family of four.

In contrast, the price comparison portal Check24 calculates additional costs of 476 euros for an annual consumption of 20,000 kilowatt hours and a rate of two cents, a price that includes value added tax. The rate will apply for a year and a half, that is, until the end of March 2024. About half of German homes are heated by gas.
