New opportunities for teacher students: Events and commitment in view!

In the lecture -free period, the teacher students at Heidelberg University want to arise with a comprehensive program. The focus is on the crucial information about upcoming events and important topics. The Academic Working Group (AK) Teaching has set itself the goal of gaining new members and intensifying cooperation with other student councils.

Especially at a time when more and more students are interested in teaching training, it is essential to strengthen the community. In the past semester, new members have joined the AK, which enriches the exchange of ideas and perspectives. A call to participate in various initiatives shows that everyone who is interested is very welcome and can actively contribute. It is an opportunity to raise your own voice.

different events and appointments

The events during the semester break are a central point of the offer. The next online meetings are scheduled for September 5, September 19 and October 2, 2024, each at 5:15 p.m. For technical reasons, the date on September 19 will take place via the BigblueButton platform, which may not be accessible to everyone. For this purpose, the AK teaches the students to report to questions or concerns and to request support. This shows the commitment of the AK to create an inclusive environment in which everyone can take part.

In addition, an extensive serial program for new teacher students is planned. The program is intended to offer offers and information from various student councils to make newcomers easier. A semester opening barbecue and information events on the teaching degree are also planned. It is emphasized that older students can also participate in these events - the motto is: "The more, the better!"

key topics and collaboration

The upcoming critical educational camp, which will take place from 23 to 26 August 2024 at Lutter Castle, is particularly highlighted. This is an initiative that offers students the opportunity to deal with topics that affect the education system - from learning conditions to social inequalities. Workshops and debates should serve to actively work on solutions.

Another important event is the specialist event "impetus of a sustainable change process to process discrimination in schools", which will be offered online on September 26th. This is about the networking of representatives from educational institutions and ministries in order to address and advance discrimination in schools.

Furthermore, the topics of civil servants and mental health are discussed. In a statement by the Ministry in Baden-Württemberg it is clarified that psychotherapeutic treatment of a civil servant does not fundamentally stand in the way. It is more important that the health suitability is given at the time of attitude. This underlines the importance of mental health for teachers.

The exchange and participation in various events could not only show new perspectives, but also promote the willingness to campaign for a positive development in education. The AK Teacher Office at Heidelberg University sees itself as a platform for students to work together on important questions.

Invitation to active participation

The close cooperation with the student council biology offers a workshop on the subject of “sexual education at school”, which shows how important networking is among the students. The AK teacher cordially invites you to bring in your own ideas and projects in order to organize more events for the student body together. The motivation to promote community and commitment is the focus of the efforts of the members.

at a time when everything is constantly changing, the activity within the AK teaching post is an important step to master the challenges of the teaching degree. Students are invited to raise their voice and become active - after all, only changes in the education community can be caused.

The role of the student councils in the university system

student councils are an essential part of the German university system and play a central role in the participation and representation of student interests. They promote the integration of new students and support them in orientation in everyday academic life. Through the cooperation between student councils and various working groups, such as AK teaching, important topics that are important for the students can be addressed and processed in a targeted manner. This cooperation enables the exchange of ideas and resources and promotes far -reaching commitment within the university community.

An example of a successful collaboration is the workshop “Sexual Education at School”, which was organized by the close cooperation between the AK Teaching and the Biology Student Council. Such initiatives show how student councils can actively contribute to the design of everyday study.

Current challenges in the education system

In recent years, the education system in Germany has seen itself faced with various challenges. Topics such as inclusion, digitization processes as well as combating discrimination and social inequality are at the top of the agenda. The events of recent years, especially during Covid 19 pandemic, have tightened the discussion about learning and working conditions in schools. Many teachers and students have pointed out the need for a reform in order to meet the requirements of a modern society.

The critical educational camp, which is organized by the free merger of student councils (FZS), aims to take up these topics and discuss solutions. By creating together students, teachers and other participants, a platform is created to develop new perspectives and to advance the necessary changes in the education system.

important statistics on discrimination in the education system

Current studies and surveys show that discrimination in the education system, especially in relation to racial and ethnic identities and gender, is still widespread. According to a study by the federal anti -discrimination agency of 2020, more than 30% of respondents have experienced discrimination in the educational context. Such figures illustrate the urgency, with which events such as the specialist event “impetus of a sustainable change process to process discrimination in schools” must be organized in order to take concrete measures to combat this problem.

In addition, data from the international comparison study PISA show that students from socially disadvantaged families often achieve worse achievements compared to their better -person peers. This leads to a vicious circle that further increases social inequality and makes reforms in the education system urgently needed.
