Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - At the coalition negotiations between the Greens and the CDU, the central state political issue of education is on the agenda for the first time.
During their explorations, the two partners had already agreed that they did not want to make major changes to the school landscape.
At the same time, the successor to Education Minister Susanne Eisenmann, who wants to get out of politics after her failure as the CDU top candidate, faces major tasks.
Baden-Württemberg has slipped in school performance comparisons with other federal states.
In addition, the country has significantly more types of school than other countries, which costs significantly more money.
At the same time, teacher associations are calling for significantly more teachers, also to cushion the learning gaps caused by the corona lockdown.
The CDU negotiating group is led by State Secretary Volker Schebesta, he is supported by the new CDU member of the state parliament, Christiane Staab, who was previously the chairman of the state parents' council.
The Greens come with Minister of State Theresa Schopper, education expert Sandra Boser and state chief Sandra Detzer, among others.

In the two election periods under Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann, the Greens granted the Ministry of Culture to the small coalition partner, the SPD and the CDU.

The GEW trade union is urging that after five years of conservative education policy, the Greens should now take over the department.
In addition, the working groups for society and integration, including Integration Minister Manne Lucha (Greens), and the Construction and Housing group, which will be attended by Transport Minister Winfried Hermann (Greens), will meet in the morning at L-Bank in Stuttgart.
