Jens-Holger Schneider, September 9, 2021, Education in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

AfD Kompakt, September 9, 2021.

By means of its Corona preventive measures, the State government has nearly paralyzed instruction and upbringing. Schoolchildren, like parents, feel themselves left in the lurch. The so-called distance instruction could not do what the Education Ministry promised. For those growing up, the psychological consequences are disastrous.

Yet even before the Corona crisis, the situation in the schools was precarious. On the bases of ministerial standards, the results thanks to reduced requirements and an inflated evaluation indeed always appear to be better, yet prove to be an uncovered check. Universities as well as training programs complain that the graduates can do ever less, and with many there is a lack of conduct like punctuality, reliability and diligence.

It becomes time for a new honesty in the area of education. We demand the assurance of substantial content and applicable knowledge proceeding from a fundamental education in writing, reading and figuring in the Grundschulen, to the assurance of an authentic scholarly ability through the Gymnasien.
