Overview
- Presented in Wiesbaden by Mathias Wagner and Daniel May, the plan responds to IQB 2024 and IGLU results showing major deficits and remains an opposition proposal awaiting government uptake.
- From 2026, annual statewide assessments would be paired with expanded holiday support, including using the “Hessenwoche” as an additional learning and support week.
- A scaled Chancenbudget would fund targeted offers in schools, and students with a grade of 4 or worse would gain a right to at least one remedial course in German or mathematics per year.
- All children would be screened about 18 months before school entry, with mandatory preparatory courses broadened to include basic math and motor skills.
- By 2028, the plan calls for a Hessian institute for educational monitoring to systematize testing and use class 3 and 8 data, alongside more full-day schools in high-need areas and new routes to recruit and train teachers.
