Increasing Class Hours in Primary Schools to Solve Educational Issues

Ties Rabe, the education senator of Hamburg, has improved the city's education system in national rankings. In a recent interview, the Social Democrat discusses the causes of the crisis in schools and emphasizes that increasing class hours by two hours per week in primary schools could be sufficient to solve many existing educational problems. Rabe highlights that such a measure would not only improve learning conditions for students but also assist teachers in delivering their content more effectively. He therefore calls for a serious discussion on the necessary steps to rescue the education system from its current plight.
