Ein Jahr zum Vergessen

How we can still prevent an educational disaster A virus is bringing our school system to its knees. Schools are being closed, children are staying at home. But homeschooling, distance or alternate education have fatal effects on the education of students. Klaus Zierer, professor of school pedagogy, identifies the problems and makes suggestions on how the educational catastrophe can be prevented.

School closed because of Corona Apparently, education policy knows only one remedy for the Corona crisis: lockdown and a move away from face-to-face teaching. But school closures have dramatic consequences, as Klaus Zierer shows:

Pupils' learning performance declines

Families are pushed to the limit

Parents and children increasingly suffer from psychological stress

Social inequality continues to increase, educational equity suffers

Teachers often act haphazardly and are also overtaxed

The crisis-proof school for tomorrow 1 ½ years of corona pandemic cannot simply be shaken out of one's clothes. A school for tomorrow must reduce learning gaps and once again advocate holistic education. Klaus Zierer calls out concrete proposals to education policymakers. Among other things, he calls for

Declutter the overcrowded curricula and educational plans

Take the humans into the view and not economic interests

Do not focus education too much on PISA and a few core subjects

This book identifies the problems of current education policy, shows ways out of the education crisis and develops a vision of a school for tomorrow. A guide for all parents and grandparents, teachers and educators, and everyone who cares about the future of our children. And for the politicians who lay the foundation for the next generations with their education policies.
