Article only available in German - "For years, the PISA study has revealed the downward trend of the German school system. In search of solutions, Alexander Brand, editor of the school portal and a teacher himself, spent six months visiting schools in the PISA top-performing countries of Finland, Estonia, Japan, and Singapore. How do children learn there? What do these countries do better? In his book "The Education World Champions," published on February 26th by Beltz Verlag, Brand recounts this journey. The school portal is exclusively publishing an excerpt from his book in advance. It illustrates how teachers in Singapore continuously monitor their students' learning progress and adapt their teaching accordingly."
