"Preparing Kids for School Success: Karin Prien Wants Language Tests for 4-Year-Olds"
Four-year-old children in Prien to undergo mandatory linguistic exams
Brace yourself, folks! German Ministry of Education and Family Affairs, Karin Prien, dishes out a bold plan - mandatory language tests for all four-year-olds. Preparing children for school success will be the driving force behind these tests, with remedial classes on standby for those who need extra help.
Flashback to conversations with Funke media group, Prien emphasized the significance of diagnostics before support, stating, "Where there are still gaps in vocabulary, where are there deficits in German language skills? We want to introduce nationwide mandatory tests for all four-year-olds."
When it comes to giving children a fair start, the CDU politician wants to ensure her stake. She's planning a revival of language kindergartens and support for kindergartens in social hotspots, focusing on the Startchancen program. This isn't just talk - Prien is serious about investing heavily in kindergarten construction and quality.
Buckle up, as she plans to kickstart these changes as soon as humanly possible. She's aiming for a country that thrives, and big investments in education pave the way to prosperity.
Wait, there's more. Screen time addiction? Prien links it to the current lack of school readiness amongst kids at enrollment, blaming the parents. "Many parents struggle with their duties," she told newspapers, "Their phones steal too much of their attention, away from their children."
On the screen time issue, Prien is pushing for a complete ban on private mobile phones in elementary schools. She claims scientific evidence supports this move, highlighting poorer learning performance and psychological problems in students with excessive screen time.
Delving into politics, Prien criticizes double standards in criticisms of Israel, stating that the handling of mobile phones in schools should be a matter of state. She plans to collaborate with the states by providing the scientific basis for this decision. In the past, she's served as the Minister of Education in Schleswig-Holstein.
So, what's the bottom line? Karin Prien's plans, if enacted, could change the way we approach early education, pushing for equal development opportunities for children. But stay tuned - we'll need official announcements from the ministry to get the nitty-gritty details.
