15/8/2020 NEW EDUCATION QUALITY RANKING RELEASEDAt the end of the difficult first week after the start of school in Berlin with the discussion about compulsory masks and the first school closures due to corona cases, there is finally some good news: In the education monitor of the Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft (INSM), Berlin is no longer at the bottom of the education quality list in Germany. According to the nationwide comparative study presented recently in Berlin, the capital rose from 16th place to 13th place. The fact that the childcare ratios at daycare centers, schools and universities are good has a positive effect. In addition, a particularly large number of children and young people in Berlin take advantage of all-day offerings in daycare and primary schools. How the evaluation works? The education monitor of the INSM has been published for 17 years and compares the education systems of the 16 federal states from an economic perspective. According to INSM, the comparative study evaluates "to what extent a federal state reduces educational poverty, contributes to securing skilled labour and promotes growth". In addition to the performance level of students, the study compares, among other things, how much money a state spends per student, the ratio of teachers to students in terms of numbers, or the proportion of younger teachers. The school and trainee dropout rates are also examined. In addition to day-care centres, schools and universities, it also evaluates performance in vocational education and training on the basis of a total of 93 indicators in 12 fields of action. The comparative study is prepared by the Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft (IW). The complete study can be found here. Pros & Cons of the Education system in Berlin The many researchers in Berlin are also rated positively "measured by economic power". In addition, there are many university graduates relative to the resident academic population and the highest proportion of foreign students in Germany. The main areas that can be improved are vocational training, educational poverty, school quality and integration. For example, the share of youths without a training place is too high and the supply of training places offered by companies is too low. Many young people did not achieve the minimum standards of competence - deficits in reading, writing, mathematics and science, for example. The IW takes these data from the nationwide school achievement studies of the past years. The school dropout rate in Berlin is still high and the connection between social background and educational success is said to be close. Why Sachsen is still number#1? The winner, Saxony, was praised among other things for the fact that many children were looked after full-time and that many employees with university degrees worked in the daycare centres. According to the study, the Saxon pupils also excel in mathematics and science, and only a few do not reach the minimum standards in mathematics and reading. Lack of participation, shortage of teachers and lack of digital resources are the most obvious problems of the German education system, the study said. The corona pandemic aggravates these difficulties. Sources: Tagesspiegel & Welt CategoriesAll Family SELF DEVELOPMENT SHOPPING Archives October 2020 Related ArticlesComments are closed.
