The management of the Bertha von Suttner School recently received further training at the educational forum of the Hessian Association of Business Associations (VhU).
Under the motto “Understanding the economy, shaping the future”, the Hessian Association of Business Associations discussed with key representatives from education, business and politics how economic skills can be strengthened in times of digitization and globalization .
Ms. Dr. Nicola Brandt, head of the Berlin office of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), presented current studies in the field of financial education. A lively exchange followed between the participants, which also included our pedagogical coordinator Simone Studebaker, grade director and career guidance coordinator Andreas Dotzauer and school principal Harald Klose.
The essence of the event was that the importance of basic financial education will continue to increase against the background of globalization and digitization and rapidly changing economic processes, but not only under the responsibility of schools, but on society as a whole and affects all ages. from daycare to old age.
Financial education is already anchored in the Hessian School Act as a specific educational task and is reflected in subjects in the subject of social studies (PoWi), in the processing of the career choice passport or the career choice app , student companies such as the student. cafe, SV cash register “account management” and in the area that crosses many career-oriented subjects, but also with math lessons, think about percentage and interest calculations.
At the end of the forum, the VhU asked those involved to act decisively: “Education and business networking must be further strengthened to provide practical economic skills to young people.
The management of the Bertha von Suttner School would like to address this and accept incentives and special offers, for example in the further development of the MINT center.

As the website editor for world-today-news.com, it’s my pleasure to bring you an interview with two guests about the importance of economic education in shaping the future. Our first guest is Ms. Dr. Nicola Brandt, Head of the Berlin office of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and our second guest is Andreas Dotzauer, Grade Director and Career Guidance Coordinator at the Bertha von Suttner School.
Thematic Section 1: The Role of Economic Education in Shaping the Future
World-Today News: Good day, Ms. Dr. Brandt and Mr. Dotzauer. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us today about economic education. Can you tell us more about the significance of economic education in shaping the future, particularly in today’s digitized and globalized world?
Nicola Brandt: Certainly, economic education has become increasingly important in recent years due to the rapid changes in our economy. By providing students with the necessary skills and knowledge about finances, we can help them make informed decisions that will shape not only their own futures but also the future of our society as a whole. In a globalized world, understanding economic concepts is crucial for making responsible choices related to employment, personal finances, and even political involvement.
Andreas Dotzauer: I completely agree. Economic education has become integral to preparing students for the challenges they will face in the future. Not only does it help them understand how the world works, but it also gives them the tools they need to navigate it successfully. By providing this type of education, we’re equipping them with the skills to be effective members of our global community.
World-Today News: How do you think economic education can best be integrated into school curricula?
Nicola Brandt: Economic education should be incorporated into various subjects, not just limited to one specific area. For example, it can be integrated into social studies, mathematics, and even science classes. This broad approach can help students understand the interdisciplinary nature of economics and equip them with a well-rounded understanding of financial concepts.
Andreas Dotzauer: At the Bertha von Suttner School, we’ve taken a multifaceted approach
