Gabriele Behler
Gabriele Behler , b. Winkel (born March 25, 1951 in Werne ) is a German politician ( SPD ). She was a member of the state parliament and minister for the school , science and research divisions in North Rhine-Westphalia .
Life and work
After graduating from high school, Behler studied German language and literature and history from 1969 to 1975 for teaching at grammar schools at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster . From 1977 to 1981 she taught as a teacher German and history at East Westphalia Kreisgymnasium Hall .
Through her work as a pedagogical assistant in the department for political education of the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Culture (1981 to 1986), she assisted the then Minister of Education Jürgen Girgensohn (SPD) during the debate about the NATO double decision . She is the authoritative author of the decree on peace education , which the political left regards as a progressive document of a political and democratic conception of schools.
In 1986, in the face of considerable protests, she was appointed senior director of studies and head of the Heepen grammar school in Bielefeld . After four years as headmistress , she took over the position of department head in the newly created Ministry for Equality between Women and Men in 1990 .
politics
Gabriele Behler has been a member of the SPD since 1972. She was a member of the East Westphalia-Lippe SPD district executive from 1988 to 2001, and from 1990 as deputy district chairwoman. From 1989 she sat on the state executive committee of the SPD North Rhine-Westphalia . On December 14, 1991, she was elected deputy state chairman to succeed Antje Huber at the state party conference in Hagen and held this office until 2002.
From 1995 to 2002 Behler was a member of the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia under the SPD Prime Ministers Johannes Rau and Wolfgang Clement :
- From July 17, 1995 to June 9, 1998 as Minister for Schools and Continuing Education ;
- from June 9, 1998 to June 27, 2000 as Minister for Schools and Continuing Education, Science and Research;
- from June 27, 2000 to November 12, 2002 as Minister for Schools, Science and Research.
The Prime Minister, Peer Steinbrück (SPD), elected by the state parliament on November 6, 2002 , divided the ministry previously headed by Behler into a ministry for schools, youth and children and a ministry for science and research . Gabriele Behler no longer made herself available for a ministerial office under the new division.
After Gabriele Behler had missed entry into the state parliament in the state elections on May 14, 1995, she moved into the state parliament on September 1, 1996 for Jürgen Schaufuss , who had left the parliament. As they reach the next state election on 14 May 2000 was also not elected, they retired to the end of the 12th legislative term on June 1, 2000 from the parliament, but moved already on 20 July 2000 for the deceased deputy Sigrid Klösges in the state parliament after the 13th electoral term. On January 24, 2005, she resigned her seat in the state parliament and did not run for the upcoming state election on May 22, 2005 .
Withdrawal from politics
By renouncing a renewed state parliament candidacy, she anticipated a corresponding decision by the party committees. The change in teacher training in 2002 had already met with opposition from her own party. She justified her resignation in January 2005 with her rejection of the new school law of the red-green state government, which in her opinion endangers the quality of the grammar schools through the "localization of school supervision " .
Since leaving state politics, she has been teaching, for example at the Ruhr University in Bochum on the history of educational policy in North Rhine-Westphalia. She was also a member of the broadcasting council of the WDR and a member of the supervisory board of WDR-Gebäudemanagement-GmbH, a former subsidiary of the WDR.
