Children from the age of three are to take a German test in Thuringia. This is what the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance wants, according to the draft program for the state election.
In its draft program for the state elections, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) is demanding that children from the age of three in Thuringia be required to take a German test. This is reported by the “Welt” newspaper.
According to this, attendance at a daycare center should be made compulsory if this test reveals deficits. As the “Welt” newspaper quotes from the draft, primary schools need to “refocus on learning the core skills of reading, writing and arithmetic.” The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance also continues to advocate for the inclusion of children with disabilities in regular school classes.
The draft of the election manifesto has also been made available to “Spiegel”. It is said to continue: “Only those who can demonstrate many years of professional experience as teachers should become Thuringia’s education minister.” The manifesto is to be approved next Saturday.
On Tuesday, the party will present its content, as reported by MDR. The party program in Thuringia is to be based on five central themes: peace, education, an efficient state, social justice and economic reason. These emerged from an online survey. According to Steffen Schütz, chairman of the state party, over 6,000 people took part. Alongside him, Katja Wolf is the party’s chairwoman.
The state election in Thuringia will take place on September 1st. An INSA poll shows that the BSW is currently at 16 percent, the same applies to the Left. The AfD is at 30 percent and the CDU at 20 percent.
