EDUCATION REFORM IN AUSTRIA
The need for education reform is indisputable. The type of reform is a strong ideological and too little treated objectively. The stock keepers fighting for the alleged loss of privileges, especially the powerful teachers and representatives from the educated middle class, mostly academics.
would be an important insight: there are arguments against each system and each has weaknesses. Only it can not be that our ailing school model, based on an old social structure in many areas, and almost total failure only in German-speaking exists, will be kept.
The common school of the 6 to 14 years seems fair and adapted to today's society, as the school system with a differentiation of 10 years. Why? The primary goal of educators should make it to inspire the students to perform better. Individual talents should be tapped as possible and enabled. A modern education with different ability groups comprising the general level of education would be raised, and indeed an in-depth educational training of teachers is a central key of a school reform should be. Away from the unilateral and arrogant slogan of gifted education to gifted education. Due to early elimination Ten-year results in unintentional discrimination. These are global experience. The new middle school is good. What, however, a lower secondary school. If this is not supposed to exist no difference between middle school and lower level high school, why a duplication also problematic in terms of prestige? Come to this realization
Austrian and international experts (hardly experts for system maintenance)
parents' associations (almost nationwide)
business organizations (Chamber, Industry)
The international situation speaks for themselves. Negative developments from abroad are probably related to the time because changes always create problems of adjustment.
My personal experience with the same international school types up to a higher age than 10 years is positive. In the United States - again and again cited negative - my grandson learn in public schools a famous gifted education. Like I can report from Sweden, the former Swedish Minister of Education, a civil government said Per Unckel that Sweden offers the school system with the largest school choice within the European Union, but of course each in the system of common school. Sweden is therefore not before the collapse of the school system, as has been alleged on several occasions, but, system corrections, such as school grades and award ähnliches im breiten politischen Konsens an neue Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen angepasst.
