Education under pressure: AfD exclusion from the didacta required!
On February 2, 2025, the excitement about the presence of the alternative for Germany (AfD) at the Didacta, Europe's largest educational fair, is getting louder. The general school management association in Germany (ASD) has already moved into a clear position against the participation of the AfD. According to information from Bleiben Sie informiert: Jeden Abend senden wir Ihnen die Artikel des Tages aus der Kategorie Bad kreuznach – übersichtlich als Liste. The debate about the didacta fits into a larger context of democracy formation, which is of central importance in Germany. With a funding period from 2019 to 2024, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is devoted to strengthening democratic participation and social cohesion. Projects such as the "Monitor democracy education" are initiated to promote political participation and to address social differences in political participation. The “acting democratically” initiative, which has existed since 1991, aims to strengthen democratic culture in children and adolescents. The background of these measures is the reaction to current global challenges such as climate change and corona pandemic. In the middle of the upcoming Bundestag election, the AfD stand on the Didacta becomes a test stone for the positioning of the organizers and the parties. Critical voices demand that the Didacta neither offer a platform for democracy and should endanger the values of training in the 21st century. This topic therefore remains highly topical and requires a clear public attitude of everyone involved. democracy education as a task for society as a whole
