The Juso student and trainee group (short name: JSAG ; occasionally only Juso students ) is the student and trainee organization of the Working Group of Young Socialists in the SPD in Germany.

profile

The Juso student and trainee group sees itself politically like the Jusos as belonging to the left spectrum of opinion. It is an open school and trainee organization, in which students and trainees who are neither active in the SPD nor in the Jusos can become members. In her opinion, everyone should be able to participate in education regardless of social origin, nationality , sexuality or religion . The goals include the abolition of private schools , the abolition of grades and a general ban on security and educational policy appearances by the Bundeswehrin public schools. In addition, the JSAG advocate the progress of digitization in schools, a minimum training allowance, free lunch in schools, reimbursement of travel expenses for the way to school and the right to vote from the age of 16.

The Juso pupil and trainee group appears again and again in the history of the Jusos. Especially in the 1970s, when the political youth organizations were exposed to an onslaught of members, there were many student (project) groups, when no clear structures had yet been created. The first federal secretary was Joachim Hofmann-Göttig , who later became mayor of Koblenz. From 1974 to 1976 Rudolf Scharping was responsible for the student work of the Juso federal board . In 1975 there were around 50,000 active students in the Jusos and with around 500 groups of students, the Juso students were the largest student organization. At that time the name Juso Schüler was used almost exclusively , while in more recent times the "gendered" form is used. Today as then, she faces the Union of Students and the Liberal Students .

In November 2004 , up to three people from each Juso regional association met in Hanover to decide on the content structures and positions and to revive the JSAG.

The JSAG groups have been under construction again since 2010. Since then, a basic and electoral congress has been held annually to develop content and to pass resolutions and elect a federal coordinator.

Inner structure

The Juso pupil and trainee group is organized within the Jusos and the SPD , but acts independently. The structure of the association is based on that of the Jusos, from which it is financed. The highest decision-making body is the election conference. This elects a federal coordinator and determines the work program. However, there is no federal association, as the school system is a matter for the individual federal states . In almost all German federal states there are regional associations or districts of the JSAG. The state associations sometimes have a very different structure and political orientation, but want to represent a common position whenever possible.

The JSAG are headed by a so-called federal coordination, which consists of three equal members. These mostly come from the regional associations, which have a large number of members, as they naturally bring more votes - but there are no fixed regulations on regional proportionality in the coordination. The federal coordination is represented in the federal board of the Jusos, as well as in the AG Education of the Bundestag parliamentary group and maintains close contact with the Juso university groups .

The federal coordination is elected by the election congress. This takes place annually and is also used to pass resolutions on applications. State associations and districts with JSAG structures are eligible to apply. Accordingly, only the delegates at the election congress have the right to speak and vote. The delegates are sent by the regional associations and districts. Due to the not yet established structures, there are regional associations and districts in which the regional board of the Jusos sends the delegates. The federal committee key of the Jusos applies to the election congress.

Regional associations

There are currently 14 active regional associations and districts, which in turn are divided into associations in the territorial states of the Federal Republic of Germany according to the city and rural districts. Large associations usually only appear in city-states or large cities. Due to the lack of any organizational structures, there are no structures in the associations in rural areas. The JSAG regional associations generally represent the positions of the respective Juso regional associations.
