  "account": "Tens of thousands of students in Germany are demanding better schools, primarily more funding. However, their protests, including those by the \"Gen Z regelt\" initiative, turned violent over the weekend with Molotov cocktails thrown at police and shops looted in Frankfurt and Cologne. The students' demands are less specific than those of the Fridays for Future movement. According to the Handelsblatt, Germany's education system is in crisis, with 15-year-olds' performance in science, reading, and maths declining since 2000.",
  "summary": "For weeks, experts, entrepreneurs and readers have been debating in the Handelsblatt about the need for reform in our schools. The interim balance sheet shows where they agree and where they do not.",
