According to only about a quarter of German citizens (2026: 27%), the German education system is well prepared for the future. Even though this figure has risen significantly compared to the past (2021: 10%), a large majority of the population remains skeptical. This is the conclusion of a recent study by the BAT Foundation for Future Studies, for which 2,000 German citizens aged 18 and over were surveyed in a representative sample.
Currently, 100 women in Germany have 135 children; ten years ago, the figure was 159.

The fear of societal division has risen significantly, but the objective problems have remained the same. This is the conclusion of the latest study by the non-profit Foundation for Future Issues, for which 2,000 German citizens aged 18 and over were surveyed in a representative sample. While economic pessimism and the loss of trust in politicians have hardly changed, the hope for social cohesion has halved. Consequently, anxiety about the future has also increased considerably.
What purpose does education actually serve? Are its form and content still up to date and what should it look like in the future?
