Hey there! Let's dive into the latest shift in Germany's education landscape, as Minister Karin Prien (CDU) steps into the scene, transforming the Ministry of Research into the Ministry of Families.
This transition isn't just a simple name change; it's a "conscious, structural change," according to Minister Prien herself. The future of education will be approached holistically, considering early childhood education, kindergartens, schools, vocational education, and lifelong learning.
With a focused emphasis on family, women, seniors, and youth, Minister Prien's ministry is also accountable for social cohesion. She stresses that they aim to play the role of "bridge builders," uniting people rather than focusing on differences.
Previously serving as Minister of Education in Schleswig-Holstein, Prien underlines the importance of cooperation with the federal states, given their responsibility for education policy. Many planned projects rely heavily on good and trusting relationships with the states.
As a pressing priority, Prien emphasizes the need to unite the Ministry of Families and the education department, which was previously under the Ministry of Research. Changes in structures, processes, and responsibilities are imminent.
Now, let's get a few key details about our new Minister:
- Karin Prien - The woman steering the ship of change.
