  "account": "The past week has been marked by a series of shocks. The CDU party was left reeling after the Saxony-Anhalt election, where it secured only 17.2% of the vote, sparking fears that it may not meet the 5% threshold in the upcoming Mecklenburg-Vorpommern election. Financial markets also experienced turmoil, with government bond prices plummeting. Meanwhile, German students scored the worst ever results in the Pisa study, but the response was muted, with isolated calls for a national education summit going unheeded. The 9/11 anniversary also sparked reflection on Friday.",
  "summary": "German students perform worse than ever in Pisa and everyone just shrugs. Yet education is more important for the country's future than any pension reform.",
