Die sieben Todsünden der Bildungspolitik

A young person today must sacrifice 10,000 to 20,000 hours of his or her life to an education that claims to prepare students for a professional career but in reality only adheres to the requirements of the curriculum. Educational institutions refuse to accept that new informational sources, new modes of communication and social networks may be more effective in providing young people with a practical education. When only a tiny percentage of national budgets is targeted for education, there is something critically awry at the core of society. The claim that public education guarantees the free, equal and independent development of personality, is but an empty bureaucratic boast. As an expert in educational matters, Ingo Richter has listed the "deadly sins" of educational politics and provides realistic alternatives. This is a book for those who follow the current, media-wide debates on education and are looking for in-depth information, expertise and realisable concepts.
