Education - Woidke is not aiming for a Pisa Minister Presidents' Conference
Following the poor results of German pupils in the Pisa study, Brandenburg's head of government Dietmar Woidke (SPD) believes it is first up to the education ministers. "The current Pisa results and thus the state of the education system at schools in Germany must first be seriously discussed at the level of the responsible state ministries in conjunction with the KMK," government spokesman Florian Engels told the German Press Agency in Potsdam.
In the study, 15/16-year-olds from Germany achieved the weakest performance values in reading, mathematics and science that have ever been measured for Germany within the framework of Pisa. The study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which was last published on Tuesday, compares performance in industrialized countries.
The chairman of the Bundestag Education Committee, Kai Gehring (Greens), had called for a special MPK of the heads of government of the federal states due to the poor results. He considers the poor education results to be an alarm signal. Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz(SPD) also expressed his concern about the disastrous results.
