Education for Gelsenkirchen: politics visits star school

Sternschule, Gelsenkirchen, Deutschland - A look behind the scenes of the star school in Gelsenkirchen-Schalke! Last week, the members of the Bundestag Markus Töns and the members of the state parliament Christin Siebel and Sebastian Watermeier visited this educational institution, which benefits from the important starting chances program. Here the students not only receive school education; It is also actively working on the essential basic skills such as reading, writing and calculating. Headmistress Ms. Wild left no doubt that this is a challenge because the entire curriculum must be mastered at the same time.

"We are at the beginning of an urgently needed revolution in the education system!", Christin Siebel, educational politician in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia, called during the visit. Your appeal is unequivocal: "Now we have the chance to create sustainable changes!" Sebastian Watermeier added: "The starting chances program is a key to educational justice. But implementation must be structured and specifically! Only through close cooperation with the schools can we ensure that the support arrives where it is most needed."

The key to equal opportunities

Markus Töns emphasized how crucial education is for equal opportunities. "With the starting chances program, we can specifically support schools in difficult locations and achieve long-term improvements," he said emphatically. The MPs agreed: a constant dialogue is indispensable to support the schools in the best possible way. A visit to the star school is clear proof of the enormous potential of this program, but also for the need for continuous and constructive accompaniment, so that the desired success becomes reality.

The starting chances itself is more than just an attempt at education: it is a huge project with a total budget of around 20 billion euros over a decade that aims to promote schools with a high proportion of socially disadvantaged students. In the history of Germany, it is the largest and sustainable educational program that cannot be overlooked by its importance.
