Education Chaos in Germany: Urgent Need for All-Day School and Starting Opportunity Program

COTTBUS (dpa-AFX) – “Lausitzer Rundschau” on education:

“There is educational chaos in Germany, and children and their parents find themselves in the middle of it. It is all the more astonishing that, according to a recent survey, parents a) do not lose heart when it comes to the future of their children, and b) are willing to take responsibility themselves to ensure that the next generation does not fail at school. This calculation will work out for most boys and girls. But not all parents are able (or willing) to compensate for the deficits in the school system through their own initiative. That is why it is necessary All-day school is now to come across the board as quickly as possible, and the starting opportunity program for schools in trouble spots must also be implemented urgently. With all due respect to the optimism of the parents – it will not be enough to lead Germany out of the educational misery.”/yyzz/DP/ hey
