France is burning. Again. Apparently it's about the underfunding of the education system. Not enough resources for school buildings? So they just burn down the existing ones. Not enough teachers? So they beat up those that are still around. This is fueled by Mélenchon’s... (translated)

Did you know that more than 2 percent of the German core budget is planned for military aid to Ukraine in 2026? That's 11.5 billion euros! With this amount, for example, every kindergarten and school child in Germany could receive a warm lunch at state expense every day, and there would still be a larger sum remaining! (translated)

Is it possible to be more absurd? The Minister of Education from the CDU, Karin Prien, is currently threatening us that if we, as the AfD, change the education policy in Saxony-Anhalt, the federal government will reclaim funds! Excuse me? We were democratically elected. We have the mandate from the people for change. And we will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed by a dying CDU! (translated)

My dream is a visit from Friedrich Merz in the kindergarten, accompanied by a camera, where then a child asks a critical question and Merz refers to the child as a beneficiary of the system and loudly calculates that it will take about 20 years until they become a net payer. (translated)

A mother told me that her children in school (they come from Saxony-Anhalt) attend religious education. The teacher, who is also a pastor, stood in front of the class before the state elections and seriously said: 'Only the Greens can save you from the climate catastrophe! And be sure to tell your parents to vote for the Greens!' Direct political indoctrination of school children, in the middle of class! When the parents complained, the teacher dismissed it: That was just his opinion and it was important. And the school administration? They dismiss it just the same! There is nothing one can do; they are just glad to have a religious teacher at all. So we have a pastor at the school who apparently sees himself as untouchable and tramples on the principle of neutrality. How many of these teachers are there, I wonder? When schools become party headquarters and clergy use their power to politically instrument children, then that is certainly no education anymore – it is pure ideology! That such a thing remains without consequences in German schools shows exactly how deep the political swamp in the education system already is! #School #Education #Indoctrination #PrincipleOfNeutrality (translated)

It is hard to find words that do justice to the significance of this award. The Mevlüde Genç Medal is not an ordinary prize for me. It is a great honor - but above all, a commitment. Mevlüde Genç responded to the unimaginable suffering from the attack in Solingen with something that goes far beyond what could be expected: with love, humanity, and reconciliation. Her attitude reminds us that hatred can never be the answer. For me, this award is also personally significant. My story began in Gelsenkirchen and North Rhine-Westphalia. Here I experienced that people of the most diverse backgrounds can live and work side by side quite naturally. I want to pass on these values: to the next generation and to the many young people who are charting their own paths. Education, empathy, and the willingness to understand other perspectives are crucial. Thank you very much to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Minister-President Hendrik Wüst for this special honor. I accept it with great gratitude - and with the awareness that it brings responsibility with it. Together is always stronger than division! 🤍 (translated)

OECD Education Director Andreas Schleicher criticizes the Austrian education system as backward in ZiB 2 and advocates for earlier support and a longer primary school education, as performance in mathematics and reading skills continues to decline according to the Pisa study. (translated)

Denis Scheck correctly notes at #Maischberger: voting for the Left to solve the housing crisis is a case of collective amnesia. This goes back to the educational disaster that only conjures the enemy image of "far-right", and with the opening of borders and the turbo-naturalizations, a new electorate has been created, who do not care about Germany's past, but just as much about its future: Will he understand that? (translated)
