Focus

The German School Barometer Focus takes up individual current global, social and educational policy topics. To this end, we survey various stakeholders, such as teachers, school administrators, children and young people as well as other multi-professional experts who help shape and experience schools on a daily basis. Starting with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, we asked teachers about the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and school closures. In April 2022, every second teacher reported having Ukrainian pupils at school. However, just as many also said that the school does not have an appropriate concept for teaching pupils with little or no knowledge of German. In November 2022, school principals warned of the massive staff shortage and rated the effectiveness of the coronavirus catch-up programs as low.

Impact of coronavirus catch-up programs and schooling for new immigrants

In autumn 2022, school principals reported a massive shortage of staff, a heavy workload due to too much bureaucracy, among other things, and continued significant learning deficits. The effectiveness of the coronavirus catch-up programs and the available capacities for schooling new immigrants were also topics of the representative survey of principals.

Refugee Ukrainian pupils at German schools

In April 2022, we conducted a special survey of teachers at general education and vocational schools in Germany on the schools' approach to teaching refugee children and young people from Ukraine. The majority of all respondents had children at school who had recently immigrated and had little or no knowledge of German. Just under half of those surveyed said that Ukrainian pupils only take part in regular lessons and do not receive any additional support in German as a language of education.
