biography

Family, education and work

Mews was the son of a carpenter in a family of six children. He graduated from elementary and middle school in Kolberg. In 1945 the family first reached Bohemia in the refugee trek and then expelled Calbe an der Saale again . By working in agriculture, he initially contributed to the family income until he attended secondary school in Calbe in 1946/47 and then the Karl Marx Oberschule , which he graduated from high school in 1950. From 1950 to 1953 his three-year teacher training followed, combined with many times in which he was already teaching because of the shortage of teachers.

In 1953 he had to flee after the uprising on June 17th and then worked in the moor cultivation in Großmoor near Celle . After studying again at the University of Education in Bremen from 1953 to 1956 and taking the first teacher examination, he was a teacher at the school on Schleswiger Strasse in Bremen- Walle . In 1958 he switched to the school at the Pulverberg in Walle; here he passed his second teacher examination in 1960.

Mews had been married since 1956 and last lived in Bremen - Horn-Lehe , Lehe district.

At the education senator

From 1966 to March 1967 Mews was an educational assistant at the Senator for Education under Senator Moritz Thape (SPD), with the task of evaluating the opinions on a new primary school curriculum. Again in 1968/69 he was seconded to the planning department of the school authorities to draft a school development plan . In 1969 he was commissioned to coordinate the educational planning for the Bremen-Ost comprehensive school (GSO); he was then head of this school. From 1970 he also participated in a school experiment to develop cooperation between elementary and special school students as a model experiment at the school on Dudweiler Straße .

In 1977 he became head of the school planning department at the Senator for Education . From 1980 to 1992 he was the state school board of the state of Bremen as the successor to Horst Banse. Mews was the last state school supervisor, after which Senator Henning Scherf (SPD) did not fill this position of the highest-ranking educator again. During his time (under the Senators Horst von Hassel (SPD), Horst Werner Franke (SPD) and Henning Scherf (SPD)), the legal elaboration of the new standardized Bremen teacher training (level teachers) and the amendment of the school and school administration law were carried out.
