Clear majority for end of educational federalism

[bhasan01854]

58 percent of Germans want to transfer responsibility from states to the federal government
Only one in six wants to maintain the status quo
Two thirds demand immediate implementation of the Digital Pact for Schools
The majority of Germans are in favor of a radical reform of the German education system. 58 percent of German citizens believe that federalism in education is no longer appropriate and would like the federal government to be solely responsible for things like school types, subjects offered, the design of curricula or the financing of teaching materials.

In contrast, only one in six people want to maintain the status quo: 16 percent cambodia gambling data want the federal states to continue to be solely responsible for education. 22 percent are in favor of education becoming a joint task between the federal and state governments. This is the result of a representative survey commissioned by the digital association Bitkom. "In education, we allow ourselves the luxury of backward small-state politics. We speak one language, but learn in 16 school systems - that is not an enrichment, but a brake," says Bitkom President Achim Berg.

"The deadlocked debate about the Digital Pact for Schools shows how educational federalism is preventing important decisions for the digital age. While the federal and state governments argue about funding and responsibility, our schools are falling behind internationally when it comes to digitization . The means and methods used to teach and learn in schools today are almost the same as they were fifty years ago."
