A More Just Educational System in Germany \u2013 and at the Technical University of Munich? \u2013 4<\/p>\n
\u201cZEIT: How do you justify an increase in justice in German schools and universities with a decrease in freedom in those same institutions?<\/p>\n \u201cLenzen: By keeping in mind that in the long run, everyone will gain more freedom. There will certainly be a gain for children with an immigrant background, as well as for children who come from classes of society where education is not very important, children whose education we will support and foster. They will all have greater opportunity to participate in our culture professionally and socially.<\/p>\n \u201cZEIT: And the middle class that will pay for everything?<\/p>\n \u201cLenzen: They will benefit in two ways. First, there will be a decrease in social tension. Second, the economy will improve when there are more qualified workers. One of the dramatic findings of the Pisa Study was that almost a quarter of fifteen-year-olds in Germany have poor reading and math skills \u2013 and therefore cannot meet the demands of the job market.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Thomas Kerstan (Interview), \u201cDas Megathema,\u201c Die Zeit, 8 March 2007, Nr. 11.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like someone who has been attacked and injured by a group of thugs.

Die gef\u00f6rderten Kinder aus bildungsfernen Schichten und mit Migrationshintergrund sowieso, weil ihre M\u00f6glichkeiten auf berufliche und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe wachsen.<\/p>\n ZEIT: Und die Mittelschicht, die das Ganze bezahlt?<\/p>\n Lenzen: Gewinnt doppelt: Zum einen nehmen die sozialen Spannungen ab. Zum anderen l\u00e4uft die Wirtschaft besser, wenn sie mehr qualifizierte Fachkr\u00e4fte hat. Eine der dramatischsten Erkenntnisse der Pisa-Studie war doch, dass ein knappes Viertel der 15-J\u00e4hrigen nicht richtig lesen und rechnen kann \u2013 und damit nicht fit f\u00fcr den Arbeitsmarkt ist.\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt)<\/p>\n Quelle: Thomas Kerstan (Interview), \u201eDas Megathema,\u201c Die Zeit, 08.03.2007, Nr. 11.<\/p>\n \u201eIch f\u00fchle mich wie eine Person, die von einer Gruppe Schl\u00e4ger angegriffen und verletzt wird.
