Senator: Education Study Results Must Be 'Revised' - Bremen Urged to Act on Poor Student Performance in Math
Bremen's Education Senator Mark Rackles has urged swift changes to boost student performance in the city. The call follows a recent study showing poor results for Bremen students, particularly in mathematics and math.
The Education Trend 2024 study revealed that only 51% of ninth-graders in Bremen met minimum standards in math. This is below the national average, with Bremen students scoring an average of 436 points compared to the national average of 474. The study also highlighted weaknesses in biology, chemistry, and physics.
Senator Rackles, responsible for Children and Education, has not yet implemented specific measures targeting frequent teacher absenteeism or low performance in these subjects. His focus so far has been on strengthening prevention work and mental health strategies in schools. However, no concrete actions addressing the specific issues raised in the study have been detailed in available sources.
Bremen's Education Senator Mark Rackles has called for urgent improvements in student performance, with a focus on mathematics and math. The city's students lagged behind in the Education Trend 2024 study, and specific measures to address these issues are awaited.
