Economic Challenges: Warum Deutschlands Bildung unter das Niveau von 2000 fällt
Die neue PISA-Studie zeigt Deutschland schlechter aufgestellt als beim ersten Schock im Jahr 2000. Bert Rürup und Michael Hüther diskutieren, welche Faktoren das Bildungssystem ausbremsen.
Handelsblatt's Bert Rürup and Michael Hüther, in their latest Economic Challenges report, examine the latest PISA study which shows a decline in Germany's education standards compared to the first study in 2000. The report reveals that one-third of 15-year-olds are failing to meet basic reading and math skills. The duo attributes this to structural deficits such as inadequate early childhood education, insufficient language support, and a lack of federal-level influence.
They also question whether a stronger federal role might be necessary given the uneven distribution of immigration. While not attributing the decline to recent immigration, they argue it exacerbates existing social segregation, evident in the unequal distribution of daycare places. Economically, the PISA decline has resulted in a loss of 3-4% of national income according to the ifo Institute. Hüther calls for a more ambitious education system that emphasizes effort and practice.
