Gastkommentar: Deutschland braucht einen Bildungs-Staatsvertrag
Bildungspolitik darf nicht von Wahlperioden abhängen. Gerade in Zeiten von KI brauchen Schulen einheitliche Standards, fordert Silke Müller, Digitalbotschafterin von Niedersachsen.
Deutschland's educational system resembles a ruins administration where education is heavily dependent on the parental home. With artificial intelligence capable of generating texts, solutions to math problems, and more, schools must reconsider what knowledge, understanding, and judgment students need to possess. In response to this situation, Federal Education Minister Karin Prien lamented the apparent disinterest of parents in their children's academic education.
Of course, parents have a duty of upbringing. However, people also have diverse financial, personal, and temporal circumstances. Daycares and schools are often the only places that can provide children with equal opportunities regardless of their background. However, promotion should not depend on the availability of sufficient resources.
As someone who ran a school for 16 years and is now an entrepreneur, I know the hotspots. Just a few points: As a school principal, I could not freely hire teachers based on qualifications and personality. Bureaucratic lists, often created by cultural ministries, arbitrarily dictate who must be invited first – based on exam scores, social criteria, and subject combinations (even if practical cross-disciplinary teaching is frequently required).
