Einleitung Bis zum Ende der 90er Jahre bestand im Freistaat Bayern die vierstufige Realschule mit den Klassen sieben bis zehn. Im April 2000 entschied sich der Landtag für die Einführung der sechsstufigen Realschule mit den Klassen fünf bis zehn. Damit begann in vielen Realschulen eine Umstellung von der vier- auf die sechsstufige Form. Im Schuljahr 2003/04 gab es in 338 (von 339) Realschulen fünfte Klassen (siehe Tab. III.1- 2, S. 82). So konnte man im darauf folgenden Schuljahr 2004/05 abschließend von der flächendeckenden Einführung sprechen. Doch die Diskussionen über die Schulstrukturreform beruhigten sich auch danach noch nicht. In einer Ministerratssitzung im November 2005 verwies Umweltminister Schnappauf auf ostdeutsche Modelle eines zweigliedrigen Schulsystems (vgl. AZ am 29. 11. 2005, S. 2). Sozialministerin Stewens stand einer solchen Zusammenlegung von Haupt- und Realschule skeptisch gegenüber (vgl. ebd.). Ministerpräsident Stoiber wollte „[…] es Sachsen und Thüringern in Sachen Schule nachmachen - und die Realschule abschaffen!“ (ebd.) Er richtete an den Kultusminister Schneider die Frage, welche Vorteile ein zweigliedriges Schulsystem habe. Der Kultusminister befürchtete, dass bei einer Zusammenlegung von Haupt- und Realschule ein Widerstand der Realschullehrer zu erwarten sei (vgl. ebd.). Wurde bei der Einführung der sechsstufigen Realschule die Schulstruktur der anderen Bundesländer nicht berücksichtigt? Warum hat die Staatsregierung erst im November 2005 über die Zusammenlegung von Haupt- und Realschule diskutiert? Seit dem Schuljahr 1991/92 besteht in Sachsen und Thüringen ein zweigliedriges Schulsystem. Im pädagogischen Bereich kommt es seit den 60er Jahren zu wiederholten Empfehlungen, dieses Schulsystem in der Sekundarstufe I aufzubauen (vgl. Ipfling, 1996, S. 19). Wurde die sechsstufige Realschule als vorübergehendes Modell eingeführt? Im Jahr 1992 fand der Schulversuch „sechsstufige Realschule“ statt. Zahlreiche Schüler und Lehrer waren daran beteiligt. Im September 1998 hat das Bayerische Staatsinstitut für Schulpädagogik und Bildungsforschung (ISB) einen umfangreichen Bericht über den Schulversuch vorgelegt. Etwa einen Monat später äußerte Kultusministerin Hohlmeier die Meinung: „Nach dem Bericht des Instituts hat sich das Modell >>Sechsstufige 2 Realschule<< tendenziell als pädagogisch positiv erwiesen“ (vgl. BaySTMUK, 1998a). Im Februar 1999 stellte die Kultusministerin im Landtag ein umfassendes Reformpaket der Staatsregierung zur zukunftsorientierten Weiterentwicklung des Schulwesens vor. Dazu gehörte vor allem die Einführung der sechsstufigen Realschule (vgl. BaySTMUK, 1999b). In Bezug auf die Aussage des Kultusministers

This paper will explore this process, and will focus on the analysis of the plan of regularisation of Belgrade (1867), by Emilijan Josimović, the first Serbian urbanist. Josimović’s plan laid down proposals for a total reconstruction of the Ottoman urban structure, and consequent transformation of Belgrade into European planned city. Radical though it was, the Plan gave urbanistic rationale and formalisation to what already lasted as an informal process of re-urbanisation parallel to the liberation from the crumbling Turkish rule and the related political processes. Ljiljana Blagojević 27 University of Belgrade - Faculty of Architecture S A J _ 2009 _ 1 _ Belgrade’s position at the confluence of the river Sava into the Danube, is marked historically by the condition of constantly shifting borders of divided and conflicting empires. The river Sava marked a geographical and political borderline from the fourth century division of the Roman Empire into the Eastern and Western Empires, until the mid-twentieth century Third Reich’s remapping of Europe.

The term “migration back- all. Germany is no exception.

This should no longer be a surprise. In 2001, an influential European study shocked Germans with the news that their country, which long had prided itself on its excellent educational system, was at the low end of the compara- tive spectrum. The study, undertaken in 2000 by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) (an arm of the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD)), showed that German children did poorly in reading, math, and science, in comparison to students from 56 other countries. The PISA study described the deep flaws in the German education system. In particular, it explained that at-risk students—including those of migration, or migrant, backgrounds—performed among the worst in the world. They were more often tracked into the lowest level Hauptschule; they were excluded from the best classrooms; and they had far fewer opportunities to attend Gymnasium, which meant they were not permitted to take the state Abitur examination and attend university.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

Summary BATIC F. & MAYRHOFER H. 1996. Bioindication of air pollution by epiphytic lichens in forest decline studies in Slovenia. - Phyton (Horn, Austria) 36 (3): (85) - (90). Initial studies were based on mapping of cover and frequency of crustose, foliose and fructicose epiphytic lichens on trees and these were also assessed for decline symptoms. Since 1985 the epiphytic lichen vegetation has been assessed by such methods and the results, expressed as a lichen map of Slovenia were used as an air quality indicator for plots of forest die-back inventory. In collaboration with lichenologists from Graz University, Austria, all epiphytic lichen species were mapped in order to obtain better measures of air quality in the area studied. Very polluted and clean, well preserved forest were investigated. From the material collected and determined, a lichen herbarium has been established in the Slovenian Forestry Institute. Possibilities for further research and the use of epiphytic lichens as air quality indicators are discussed.

Karlson+ Rasmus Landersø† February 17, 2021 Abstract We study intergenerational educational mobility in Denmark over the 20th century during which the comprehensive Danish welfare state was rolled out. While mobility initially was low, schooling reforms benefiting children from disadvantaged backgrounds led to dramatic increases in mobility for cohorts born between 1940 and 1960. However, the college expansion affecting cohorts born from 1970 onward has mainly benefited children from affluent back- grounds, resulting in rapidly declining mobility. Comparisons to educational mobility trends in the U.S. reveal that the two countries converge in mobility levels for the most recent cohorts despite the dramatically different welfare policies in place.

Germany is a federal republic and the ministers and senators of the federal states (the Länder) are responsible for education, higher education and research as well as cultural affairs.

For Austria's peoples and the government, the development of advanced education during the late nineteenth century offered challenges as well as opportunities. Popular aspirations for secondary and higher education grew as modern class structures and an industrial market economy replaced the old corporate society. Study in Gymnasien, Realschulen, universities, and technical colleges opened the doors for entry into the growing sectors of white-collar and technical employment, the learnedprofessions, and government service. For the hitherto dominant German-speaking elements in the Alpine and Bohemian lands and for the Poles in Galicia, assuring their continued leadership in achanging social structure required maintaining privileges in secondary and higher education.

  • Education in Germany
    EDUCATION IN GERMANY German public education makes it possible for qualified kids to study up to university level, regardless of their families' financial status. The German education system is different in many ways from the ones in Anglo-Saxon countries, but it produces high-performing students. Although education is a function of the federal states, and there are differences from state to state, some generalizations are possible. Children aged one to six may attend Kindergarten . After that school is compulsory for nine or ten years. From grades 1 through 4 children attend elementary school (Grundschule ), where the subjects taught are the same for all. Then, after the 4th grade, they are separated according to their academic ability and the wishes of their families, and attend one of three different kinds of schools: Hauptschule , Realschule or Gymnasium . The Hauptschule (grades 5-9 in most German states) teaches the same subjects as the Realschule and Gymnasium , but at a slower pace and with some vocational-oriented courses. It leads to part-time enrollment in a vocational school combined with apprenticeship training until the age of 18. The Realschule (grades 5-10 in most states) leads to part-time vocational schools and higher vocational schools. It is now possible for students with high academic achievement at the Realschule to switch to a Gymnasium on graduation. The Gymnasium (grades 5-13 in most states) leads to a diploma called the Abitur and prepares students for university study or for a dual academic and vocational credential. The most common education tracks offered by the standard Gymnasium are classical language, modern language, and mathematics-natural science.
