| Abstract | The author begins her examination of Germanys educational system with a general analysis of the processes of German unification in an attempt to determine whether it was really necessary to proceed so quickly. The answer, she finds, comes in the affirmatve. Given this imperative and in light of Easterners dissatisfaction with their existing system, the New Bundesländer accepted and implemented variants of the content and structures of the Old Bundesländer. A critique of the reforms of education in the New Bundesländer is therefore simultaneously a critique of education in the Old Bundesländer, with the added variable that the circumstances in which the reforms had to be implemented were extraordninarily inclement in the East with its widespread economic collapse, mass unemployment and democtratic decline of unprecedented dimension. The book deals with schools structure and its implications for equity, the political dimensions of methodology and curriculum content, and the introduction of the Dual System of vocational education in a sick economy. It also looks at how the authorities dealt with the values vacuum left by the demise of Marxism-Leninism, and how the churches handled the challenges of setting up denominational schools and religious education in a country where there has been little mandate for Christianity. Finally, the book also addresses, in some details, the important issues facing higher education in the East: the cull of staff in East German universities, the attempt to introduce academic freedom and increase access, and the danger that East German universities may became subject to some of the shortcomings which for so long have characterized higher education in the West. Numerous case studies and substantial interview material richly illustrate the authors arguments. Gliederung: 1. The fall of the wall. - 2. Reforming the school structures. - 3.
