Education - VDL Hessen calls the results of the Pisa study shocking

The Association of Teachers in Hesse (VDL) has described the poor performance of German pupils in the international performance study Pisa 2022 as "unsurprising, but still shocking". "It is remarkable that a third of young people perform well below average in mathematics and are considered poor," said VDL state chairman Jörg Leinberger in Egelsbach on Wednesday. The performance in reading also gave cause for concern.

The VDL Hessen is convinced that more attention must be paid to language development in early childhood education, but also to children's ability to concentrate, Leinberger emphasized. The fact that this area is the responsibility of nursery schools, which are already under great pressure due to the increasing shortage of skilled workers, must send a clear signal to the federal and state governments.

"Colleagues in kindergartens and daycare centers need their profession to be upgraded and, above all, more time and staff to be able to adequately support children - regardless of their parents' home," said the VDL state chairman.
