Uni Trier: catastrophic conditions
Despite protests by students over the past two semesters, no improvement in sight


The states at the University of Trier are disastrous at the beginning of winter semester and unacceptable. Students sit on window sills, radiators and the ground, because can be found throughout the building no more free chairs. They stand in front of the room because no one fits into it and squeeze into overcrowded classrooms, while half still in the hall and tried to follow the excuses of the lecturers who work on the reasonable respond to protests.

could germinate at least one lecture a suggestion of hope: Maybe you could trade places with the event in the lecture hall. A quick look at this immediately destroys any hope: here listeners who try to learn on the floor and stairs. The solution now seems a transfer of the lecture in an auditorium with space for far less than 300 people. The problem with this supposed solution is the number of registrations for this event: 531! and that only the main auditorium holds that number of students. Another solution that has been discussed: to offer the course twice a week - unpaid overtime just because of educational policy Grievances? Unreasonable.

Similarly a scholarship promotion of ten percent of the top students, as now adopted in the coalition agreement the new government change the situation at our universities nothing except that we learn even less common, but is in competition with his fellow students. Personal development, creativity, critical thinking, solidarity and independence fall into our education system efficiency and effectiveness to the victim. This can leave permanent damage in the "future of our country," the young man. If the public discourse on education and thus the pressure on our ruling politicians, not the inside increases, it is also bad for our future.
