Educators Prien and Lies plan to strengthen their ties in academic pursuits - Collaborative endeavor in education: Prien and Lies seek to deepen partnership
Federal Education Minister and Lower Saxony's Minister President Discuss Education and Social Policy
In a recent visit to Hannover, Federal Education Minister Karin Prien (CDU) and Lower Saxony's Minister President Olaf Lies (SPD) held discussions on a range of education and social policy issues.
According to reports, both politicians share a common goal: to enable children to grow up safely, healthily, and to foster their talents. To achieve this, they are considering closer collaboration.
During their meeting, Minister Prien expressed a desire to strengthen media literacy, particularly in secondary schools. She also highlighted the importance of better early promotion, especially in language development. On the other hand, Minister Lies emphasized the expansion of all-day primary schools in Lower Saxony.
The discussions also touched upon the gender pay gap and women's policy. Both ministers mentioned that they had discussed ways to close the gender pay gap and improve women's opportunities in the workplace.
In addition, Minister Prien rejected reports that she had called for a migration quota for primary schools. She also clarified that she was open to considering the practical implementation of federal laws in states and municipalities in the future.
The meeting concluded with the announcement of an expert commission that will be established at the federal level to develop a strategy on media and news literacy with the states.
Minister Prien's schedule for the day also included visiting a language kindergarten and a meeting at the Villa Seligmann - a center for Jewish culture and music.
Despite the lack of a concrete collaboration plan in the search results, it is common for federal and state leaders in Germany to work together on matters like expanding all-day primary schools, advancing media literacy education, and addressing social inequalities. For more detailed information about any announced collaborative initiative between these two politicians, more specialized or up-to-date sources would be required.
