Employers' President Dr. Rainer Dulger comments on the PISA study presented today:
We need an almost revolutionary new start in our education system
Berlin, December 5, 2023: "PISA 2022 documents the appalling results of education policy. If those responsible do not act now, the loss of competence will be irreparable.
We need an almost revolutionary new start in our education system.
The current educational standards, but also the training of teachers, must be put to the test. STEM skills are future skills that need to be promoted in a more targeted manner. Digitalization in schools must be ensured reliably and in the long term. All-day schooling should be used specifically for individual support. We owe this to our children, who deserve a future in a country in which the promise of 'advancement through education' must continue to be upheld. Today's pupils are our trainees and employees of tomorrow. These minds are the building material of our future and the engine of our prosperity."
