Overview
- Andreas Jung, a CDU lawmaker, was reported Saturday by Deutsche Presse‑Agentur, citing party circles, as the incoming education minister in Baden‑Württemberg.
- Coalition talks between the Greens and the CDU had assigned the education portfolio to the CDU for the new term in the state government.
- In Germany, education is run by the states, so this ministry sets school policy and oversees about 145,000 teachers in Baden‑Württemberg.
- Jung is 50, based on Lake Constance, known in the CDU for climate policy work, and has served in the Bundestag since 2005.
- He would succeed Green politician Theresa Schopper, and any shifts in policy could touch millions of pupils and families across the state.
