Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) – The education union GEW gave Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann a bad report card at the end of the school year. The Greens’ head of government has “great opportunities for learning,” said GEW head of state Monika Stein on Thursday in Stuttgart. Kretschmann launched several initiatives last year, which he then withdrew, such as the demand for mandatory overtime for part-time workers. “I would hope that he will learn a lot here in the next school year.”

In the case of Minister of Education Theresa Schopper (Greens), her judgment was more differentiated. Schopper was “very good” in certain areas. The planned pilot project in elementary schools should be mentioned without numerical grades. On the other hand, it is a “shame” that the country, like every year, sends temporary teachers and trainee trainees into unemployment over the summer holidays. “There’s a lot of room for improvement,” said Stein.
