Reconstructing education

Offers a contemporary history of selected aspects of East German education after unification, as seen through the eyes of an outsider. Although it is angled predominantly toward schools, a chapter on higher education is included. Overviews the situation in the former GDR, then describes changes after unification, with chapters on reforming school structures, school life and learning, religious education, training for work, and renewing the teaching profession.
