  • The Development of Technology Education in Lower Saxony (Germany)1
    tt*"~~~~~~~~ ~~~~-ttm~~~~~*­ Bulletin of Institute of Vocational and Technical Education No.5 October 2008 The Development of Technology Education in Lower Saxony (Germany)1 Gert Reich It is a complex task to write the history of technology education in Germany: There are 16 federal states, all of them are relatively sovereign in their educational policy. Until 1989 there were even two German states with very different educational concepts, which further complicated the matter. In order not to reduce the history of technology education to a few general statements, but to meet scientific criteria, I will confine myself to Lower Saxony, with 47,600 sq 1<~m is the second largest state - but with only 8, million inhabitants rather in the midfield ranl\:s.

  • Borders in Globalization Country Report on Denmark-Germany
    1 2 _________________________________ Borers in oaiation Resear roet 2 Borders in Globalization enmar Germany artin Klatt sabelle alteru University of Borders in Globalization (BIG) DENMARK - GERMANY Isabelle Walther-Duc Martin Klatt A. Introduction Fig. 1: freight and persons crossing the Danish borders, 2006 and 2009/2011 The Danish-German border is short in comparison to other EU internal borders. Still it is relevant also as the border between the continent and Scandinavia, or the countries within the Nordic Council. The border’s history is conflict ridden. It was drawn in 1920, together with other new borders drawn in connection with the post WW-I order in Europe, reflecting (not only) the result of a plebiscite. The decades from 1920 to the 1950’s witnessed a bordering process with clear demarcation as well as the introduction of strict visa regimes and migration restriction, accompanied by the cut of economic flows and continued political challenges to the exact location of the border. Especially Denmark was interested in securing the border from possible German claims of revision. This changed only after Denmark joined the EC in 1973. Infrastructure investments as a freeway (opened fully in 1983) connecting the Jutland peninsula with the Hamburg metropolitan area and its seaport (2nd-3rd in Europe), the shorter “line as the birds fly” rail and road connection across Fehmarn-Lolland, disrupted by a 1 h ferry passage (1963), the introduction of frequent ferry services on the Rostock-Gedser route after German reunification (1990) and the planned fixed link under the Fehmarn Belt together with railway and road improvements on both shores (opening in the 2020’s) have made the region the major transport corridor between Europe and Scandinavia.

  • No Tuition Fees for Students from Developing Countries! Tuition Fees Hinder Development Cooperation!
    Call to the State Government and State Parliament of Baden-Württemberg No Tuition Fees for Students from Developing Countries! Tuition Fees Hinder Development Cooperation! Experts from the areas of development research, development policy, and education for sustainable development call for the state government and state parliament of Baden- Württemberg to stop plans to introduce tuition fees for students from developing countries. The state of Baden-Württemberg plans to collect 1500 euros per semester in tuition fees from international students who are not from EU countries. This measure disproportionately affects students from developing countries, who make up more than two-thirds of the non-EU students in Baden-Württemberg.1 In the draft legislation from the state government, only minimal exceptions for students from developing countries are included. Other states might follow Baden- Württemberg’s example. The signatories of this Declaration are watching this development with a great deal of concern. They reject the introduction of tuition fees for students from developing countries for the following reasons: 1.) Tuition fees for students from developing countries hinder development cooperation Educating experts and managers from developing countries is a key component of development cooperation, as investments in education are one of the most effective and sustainable measures in development promotion.2 By educating students from developing countries, the universities make an important contribution to fighting poverty and creating sustainable development and thus also to fighting the causes of flight. After finishing their studies, students from developing countries make significant contributions to solving development-related problems in their home countries as experts and managers, as they often take on key positions in public administration, universities, and development cooperation projects or in the private sector.
