What is the education like in Germany?
Germany pays attention to technical education rather than academic qualifications;

Fake. From17th century to18th century, Germany lagged behind Britain and France politically and economically, and was divided for a long time, with more than 300 independent feudal countries. These countries, especially Prussia, Austria and other big countries, are trying to train obedient subjects and handy soldiers through education in order to strengthen their rule and expand their military strength. Therefore, they are eager to transfer the management right of state schools from the church to the state and vigorously advocate compulsory education. As early as the second half of16th century, some states, such as Wittenberg and Saxony, promulgated compulsory education laws. Since17th century, most states have been competing to enact such laws. One of the most famous is the decree issued by Frederick II of Prussia in 1763, which further stipulates that children aged 5 ~ 12 must go to school for education, otherwise their parents will be fined. Practical middle school was born in Germany at the beginning of18th century, a century earlier than Britain and France, which gave Germans the rigor and connotation required by natural science! From 65438 to 0708, Himmler, a devout believer, founded the "Middle School of Mathematics, Mechanics and Economics" in Halle, mainly teaching mathematics, physics, mechanics, nature, astronomy, geography and law, supplemented by painting and sketching. Since then, some cities in Germany have established such schools one after another, and some practical middle schools have added subjects such as architecture, commercial manufacturing, trade and economy. This is a new school with both general education and vocational education. It excludes the pure classicism tendency of teaching subjects and course contents, and adapts to the needs of the gradual development of German capitalist economy. However, because its graduates are not allowed to enter higher education, their status is very low, so there are not many students, and they are quickly surpassed by the United States without family values and lost to the United States in scientific application. Influenced by the French Revolution in18th century, its outstanding performance in education is pan-Irish and Humboldt reform. Pan-Aiism is deeply influenced by the French bourgeois enlightenment thought, especially Rousseau's thought and German neo-humanism. Pan-loving educators such as Basto, Salzman and Bi Ke believe that the highest goal of education is to cultivate people with practical knowledge, pan-loving thoughts, health and optimism. Therefore, we should attach importance to moral education, physical education, labor education, modern language and natural science knowledge, adopt children's free development and attach importance to physics teaching. They love children, affirm their good nature, oppose scholasticism and classicism education, and prohibit corporal punishment. This method was later introduced to the United States, Russia and Japan. 1807- 18 15 during the Prussian-Hardenbergh reform, K.W.Humboldt, a historian and political activist, served as Minister of Education. He carried out a series of reforms in school education at all levels according to the spirit of neo-humanism. In primary education and normal education, famous educators such as Stilwell appeared by actively implementing Pestalozzi's educational thought, expanding teaching content and improving teaching methods. Since then, Dewey's educational model developed in the United States has also developed on this basis. In secondary education, practical secondary schools have been further developed, and subjects such as history, geography and natural science have been added, and teachers have been selected through examinations, breaking the situation that only priests are teachers. In terms of higher education, Humboldt clearly stated earlier that the task of a university is to impart knowledge of various subjects to students and develop science (that is, as a teaching center and a scientific research center). The University of Berlin, which he founded and led, is a typical example of this. Because Germany attaches importance to education earlier, the strength of the country also comes from more advanced and reasonable methods. This is another obvious example of quality education, which has nothing to do with genes and chromosomes boasted by some people!
