And then there this week also the unavoidable annual study by the OECD was "Education at a Glance". And again - as every year - which now takes in this matter bored public may just have the titles to the media to exercise. subtitled For example, the FAZ: "Germany is to increase the rate study and Spiegel Online reported under the heading" Education Republic of Germany are missing students. "
know you know ... interesting ... Every year the same lyre ...
pity. For several reasons. No one asks
great as comparative figures as this come about. Only those expert comments like that of the teachers' association have Every year, pointed out that the basic conditions of the countries are not directly comparable, and in particular, the populations covered by the term "students" in the countries are very different. Thus, in the Federal Republic Year after year, not our graduates of educational institutions such as academies and schools of nursing for nurses counted among the students while in the U.S. such as a bachelor but get the students better but not a professional degree. This distortion of the comparative statistics is but a number of vocational schools in Germany. "Abroad, dominated not so high-challenging short course, in Germany, long cycle and vocational training directions. The equation of quantities is thus fails completely. The white and the OECD, but the conclusion to dispense with mere percentage rate comparisons, this organization would take away their press releases effective disaster, 'said the PHV.
online encyclopedia states: "The education expenditure was in Germany compared to low. The total public and private expenditure on educational institutions in the OECD were in Germany in 2007 to 4.7 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). existed among OECD countries for which data, gave only Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Italy, a smaller proportion of economic output on education. In the best-USA, Korea and Denmark, the proportion was more than seven percent of GDP. But as the OECD expects together private and public spending on education is questionable as to how individual countries can be compared at all. Because there are so dissimilar compared to systems such as the Finnish and the Danish model to the private sector approach in the U.S. "
What then -. For so rough fuzzy parameters - the allegations of the FRG and the requirement of necessary improvements really worth?
pity - as I said - while the OECD is still a lot of money for their studies, particularly from Germany. Since you can still clean and expect differentiated work!
And so many good suggestions probably just go to: to make the finding about the incentive, with a degree about 70% more and gain a much better protection against unemployment.
Or the statement that studying in Germany are still too few young people the STEM subjects (mathematics, engineering, technology and computer science), instead, into control in an oversupply in the humanities.
And this year the separate study on vocational training remains largely unnoticed, even though this area too, the place is clearly in Germany on the credit side of education, improved may be, as the OECD shows.
And who respected even already have the results of the study to the explosive important finding that too many school leavers only on lack of general basic skills have, and that the OECD recommends that everyone should at the start of training take writing, reading and numeracy tests and should possibly receive targeted instruction to their deficits.
And so happened, what we in the coming weeks - a few days after the publication of the study - will experience: A few newspaper reports appeared, some experts have commented, some politicians are voices died away. The study moves on the shelf.
And - this is a serious - Many much needed improvements to remain, because the OECD, which delivers the headlines, has worked professionally so sloppy and spilled good, so important details in her presentation.
- Too bad. Away.
pity not to the OECD, pity about the necessary improvements to pathways and educational opportunities of our children and young people.
