  23. The present situation • lots of excellent students with outstanding results in international competitions and student olympics • e.g.: Bálint Wirnhardt, silver medal, IJSO, South Korea • students in an aveage school have usually lower performance in an international comparision • see e.g.: PISA

Influences on the school performance • the most important factor is the family background • school system is also important • see: PISA, TIMSS, competence assessments • expensive solutions within the schools are not that important • e.g.: informatics, equipment, small groups etc. personality of the TEACHER that really matters

  29. The challenges we have to meet • the acknowledgement of the states of teachers is to be increased • the share of education in the state budget needs to be increased • strengthening school communities and religious set of values • improving the standards of science education • offering vocational training • promoting the idea of sustainability — responsible planning of our future
