School today
Between privilege and dulling of the people
The FPÖ Education Institute devoted itself to the topic of educational misery in the context of a panel discussion with education experts, the FPÖ education spokesman, National Council member Dr. Rosenkranz, the President of the German Teachers' Association, Josef Kraus, former President of the Vienna School Council, Dr. Scholz, and the new FPÖ education spokesman in the Vienna State Parliament and municipal council Maximilian Krauss.
The pros and cons of introducing the comprehensive school and the new secondary school, the dismantling of the secondary school, the PISA tests and school trials as well as educational policy realities in the school sector were discussed in detail.
The central issue was whether we in Austria were not running the risk of a good education becoming wealth-dependent in the future due to a lack of reforms, but also precisely because of some reforms, such as the introduction of comprehensive schools. If this can no longer be guaranteed in the public school system, mainly due to a lowering of educational standards, private schools become an expensive alternative.
