Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the East German educational system has undergone fundamental changes within the context of a vast restructuring of the economy, the political system, and the institutions of civil society. This book provides an account of the nature and extent of these changes from both a policy and a classroom perspective, showing how every facet of education - governance, curriculum, structure, teaching - has been profoundly affected by the transformation of the social and political environment. This analysis should interest educational practitioners, policy makers and researchers alike, as well as those interested in better understanding the nature of the transformation that has been sweeping through Central and Eastern Europe in recent years. Within this broader historical context, present Eastern Germany provides a laboratory of large-scale educational and social change.
