Around 25 percent of schoolchildren in Germany fail to meet the minimum standards in reading comprehension; in 2016 the figure was just under 19 percent. This is worrying and socially unacceptable, because every child must be allowed to learn to read, otherwise those who do not speak German at home or who are not read to in the evenings will be left behind first in school and then socially. Politicians, municipalities, parents and schools must pull together and initiate measures that have long proven themselves elsewhere, such as language tests for all four-year-olds, language support in daycare centers and schools, and further training for teachers. What could also help: Refocusing on basic skills. The reading time in German elementary schools, which is also an Iglu result, is comparatively low at 141 minutes per week (OECD average: 205 minutes). The shock rigidity must finally resolve. https://www.mehr.bz/khs137m
