Lectures and Workshops about the German Education System

For foreign education officials, school principals, teachers, trainers and journalists

On behalf of various institutions

The lectures and workshops on the German education system are primarily aimed at foreign specialists coming to Germany for comparative studies on the education system. In this context, there is often a lack of a basic overview of the German education system or certain aspects of it.

For this reason, the lectures and workshops provide the basis on which follow-up in-depth talks and discussions on various aspects of the German education system can later on be held with local educational experts and practitioners.

In addition to a general overview of the entire German education system, the lectures and workshops can also have different focuses, for example: the history of the German school system, the current school system, the PISA studies and their effects, school reforms as well as access to higher education and the higher education landscape.

Another focus is on the dual vocational education and training system (VET), its legal foundations, responsible partners, as well as the specific design of the contents, duration, remuneration, etc.

Lectures and workshops can also always be adapted to the individual interests and priorities of the participants.
