Overview
- The education department unveiled the tablet tool at a Berlin school in Niederschöneweide, with State Secretary Torsten Kühne demonstrating its checks.
- Custodians use service tablets to inspect at least five random rooms each day and label each room with a green or red smiley.
- They can add photos to show issues such as unmopped floors, unclean toilets, or overflowing trash bins.
- The app sends each result straight to the cleaning company, which must correct problems the same day or face reduced payments or contract termination.
- Six boroughs already use the system, two more and centrally run schools will follow, and about 800 tablets support a goal of citywide rollout by year’s end.
