Comparison of work in Berlin : No improvement if third-graders in sight

With its insistence on a transparent means of dealing with the results of the Comparison of neukölln SPD has Congressman Joschka long Brinck had also this year a success: The administration of education published the results of the third graders (Vera 3) on Wednesday in a parliamentary question on the long brincks. However, the data were communicated for the first time, only a lump sum - without the separate designation of origin, language and gender of the students. The reason for this omission was not called.

One third belongs to the risk group

The results offer no Surprise: As always, in the past few years, a third of third graders have not yet reached the minimum standard and thus belongs to the risk group. This applies to literacy, as well as for the use and for the mathematical sub-areas "sizes and measure" and "space and shape". An improvement in the always weak, Berlin's results had, however, expected also hardly anyone in view of the many immigration of children without knowledge of German.

Even otherwise, there is little movement, because the second level of competence that represents the minimum standard, is also over-represented, so that in all four areas of 50 to 60 percent of students below the General standards. .

"A deliberate Overload of the student"

education Secretary of state Mark Rackles (SPD) justified the weak results is that the comparative work represented a "conscious Overload" of students, because education standards sensed to be one and a half years at the end of grade 4 is reached. At an average learning development could be expected "necessarily," that a greater part of the students have achieved these learning standards. However, a special attention in the schools must be the children that have not reached in grade 3 the minimum standard.

hide-and-seek-the-Vera-results

education Senator Sandra Scheeres (SPD) had announced after a months-long game of hide and seek to the data in October 2017, that you should in the future remain under lock and key. It was not referred to the procedure in the other German States, who publish the results, because they are intended to serve primarily the teachers to recognize the gaps in their students even better.
