The author of this, in March published a book, show confidence that their dispute will not become obsolete for the formation of federalism so quickly. He was here far too persistently. Hardly the book was published, came to the Corona-crisis and showed the German educational federalism in its most extreme Form. Whether in the case of the Baccalaureate examinations, hygiene rules or subsequent school openings to be provided at different times, the individual länder are different concepts.

F. A. Z.
The conference of Ministers of education defined only decision-making”corridors”, in the media, the German patchwork only came out verbally in size. To be had to each new decision, a new map of Germany with different colors for each of the Federal States painted. The culture and education Ministers were squeezed between different summer holiday dates, different virologists judgments to the risk of infection of children, and a latent candidate for Chancellor duel between Markus Söder (Bavaria) and Armin Laschet (NRW).
Reality of imagination
It was joked a lot and moaning in the population. It never came to a collective revolt against federalism and for an Educational centralism, but it is not. With this note, you could dismiss one of the main arguments of the author of the “graduation fraud”, according to a justice School stand centralism of the vast majority of the population wanted, but politically on the grounds of federalist Power will be prevented. The necessary amendment to the basic law could, therefore, be attributed, as the author, only with a popular vote.
However, this Argument had to be present, although survey results actually and the thing is, with the power of the Hand, a Corona is not convinced. Because the population is not set up traditionally against any existing, in most cases, under-funded school system? This attitude would melt at the ballot box, with great certainty, then, brings to mind only the expected uncertainties as a result of a change in the system.
a Good teacher, and social conditions
apart from that: What is it actually a reality to imagination, which engage the two authors – the former Minister of education Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Mathias Brodkorb and a Professor of special education, Katja Koch in her book? Not only a Central Abitur you want to introduce, but also the level of the final examination of lifting, wherein they openly declare, to reckon then only with a high school graduates rate of twenty per cent in a Year. Since you can only say in the sometimes mocking tone of the paper: “a Lot of fun with the popular vote!”
Odd technocrat voted, and go from Brodkorb and Koch, that justice and the level of increase could be attributed to the baccalaureate, especially by centralism brought about. Not caused good student services but especially by good teachers, and appropriate social conditions? Good teachers do not sprout, but with a Federal policy of disposal of mandatory learning content from the ground. And how dull a German class in the nation-the uniform placement of the same content would be on the curriculum?
