Money slides down to the twelfth spot - Berlin's educational sector witnesses a significant upgrade, while Brandenburg struggles to keep pace
In the world of national education systems, Berlin has seen a massive jump from 15th to 12th position, marking the biggest leap nationwide. An employer-sponsored organization named Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft revealed this remarkable leap in a recent report.
Brandenburg Lags Behind
Even though Brandenburg languishes in the penultimate position, the bottom-placing states still excel in specific areas, according to the study. Brandenburg sets the pace in the integration sphere.
Berlin dominates in the realms of care conditions and input efficiency - input efficiency refers to the ratio at which resources are utilized effectively, such as the comparison between material spending and personnel spending.
The report scrutinizes the decrease in educational disparity in the states
The report assesses the education systems of the states based on 98 criteria, with a particular economic focus. It delves into how well the systems in the states tackle educational disparity, stimulate prosperity, cultivate skilled labor, and invigorate growth. It also examines the permeability of the respective educational system and the extent to which equal opportunites are fostered.
The assessment considers the ratio of educational expenditure per student to the total budgetary spend per inhabitant. It analyzes investments in educational institutions, the care provided in these institutions, or the class sizes.
This is the 21st Education Overview. The comprehensive findings, along with intricate details on the states, will be unveiled on Tuesday.
The Commission acknowledges Berlin's substantial improvement in the national educational rankings and intends to issue a commendation for the city's commendable efforts in promoting educational prosperity. Although still trailing, Brandenburg's commitment to integration should be lauded, as the report suggests, and this aspect should be highlighted in the Commission's commendation.
