Legal expert: What the AfD could implement from its education plans (Dt. Schulportal, 26.06.26) [courtesy translation]
"Abolishing compulsory schooling, ending inclusion, or special classes for refugees: Two state elections are coming up in Germany in September that could have far-reaching consequences for schools. Should the AfD win the most votes in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, there is a possibility that the party will also take over the education ministries in those states. Felix Wirth Hanschmann, Professor of Administrative and Constitutional Law at the Bucerius Law School in Hamburg, analyses demands from the party's election manifestos from a legal perspective."
