Nochmals kurz zur PISA Studie. Nein, es liegt weder an den Finanzen noch an einem Lehrermangel. Zur Verdeutlichung ein paar Zahlen: Im Jahr 2000 waren rund 600.000 Lehrer an allgemeinbildenden Schulen beschäftigt. Im Schuljahr 2024/2025 waren es rund 750.000. Allerdings arbeiten davon aktuell knapp 44 Prozent in Teilzeit. Im Jahr 2000 lag die Teilzeitquote noch bei rund 35 Prozent. Im Jahr 2000 lagen die Gesamtkosten für allgemeinbildende Schulen bei rund 46 Milliarden Euro. Aktuell liegen diese Kosten bei rund 97 Milliarden Euro. Die Kosten pro Schulkind und Schuljahr an öffentlichen Schulen lagen im Jahr 2000 bei rund 4.400 Euro. Aktuell liegen die Kosten pro Schulkind und Schuljahr bei 11.300 Euro. #Bildung #Schule #PISAStudy
