The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 Closed Society \u2013 9<\/p>\n
That ought to be enough for politicians to try to correct the distortions in German society, but remarkably little gets done. After the enthusiasm for education reform in the sixties and seventies, experts gradually stopped discussing the question of injustice and unfairness in education; it had no political resonance. The situation remained that way for more than two decades, until the first PISA study once again turned everyone\u2019s attention to the connection between education and social background in Germany. At least now there is at least some discussion about \u201csocial selection\u201d in education.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Reinbold, Fabian, \u201cGeschlossene Gesellschaft,\u201d Die Zeit, 5 June 2008.<\/p>\n *The Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 67 among the world\u2019s universities.
