Rethinking schools: What happens after school consensus?

By Kurt Gustav Wilckens

Deutsch (original) · Auto-translated to English

Since 2008, the school consensus in Bremen has established a two-tier school system after the fourth grade. Secondary schools and high schools are located next to each other, and children with special needs are taught inclusively. Now the school consensus has been scientifically evaluated. The report comes to clear conclusions: the Bremen education system is massively underfunded, the transition after the fourth grade causes severe problems for many children, and the practical implementation of inclusion is often not successful.

A scientist at the University of Bremen is researching school development and longer collaborative learning. He contributed to the report on the school consensus and will present the results. He then discussed with the GEW state board spokeswoman and a member of the city council what changes are necessary in Bremen's schools in order to achieve a good school for all children.
