In the picture we can see some school children are standing on the path with school uniforms and they are holding some papers in their hands and one girl is talking something near the microphone which is to the stand and behind them we can see a fencing wall and to the top of it we can see a shed with some balloons top it.

Marina Weisband demands radical reform in Germany’s failing schools

Psychologist and democracy activist Marina Weisband delivered a stark assessment of schools and society at the German School Leadership Congress. She called for a fundamental shift in how responsibility and civic engagement are handled in the department of education. Her speech highlighted deep-rooted challenges facing teachers and students alike.

Weisband opened the congress by criticising the current state of schools, pointing to declining academic performance and rising frustration among pupils and staff. She argued that schools must evolve into learning organisations where both young people and educators take meaningful responsibility.

Weisband’s remarks underscore the need for systemic change in how schools operate. Her proposals focus on shared responsibility and practical engagement rather than traditional structures. The call for reform comes as educators and policymakers grapple with persistent challenges in education.
