criticism
Hans-Günter Rolff notes that the PISA studies “woke the school reform out of its deep sleep”, but that the 68ers were concerned with much more “than a school reform: namely the upheaval of the education system in all its facets - structures and content , about equal opportunities and social learning, above all about democratization - and not just of the educational institutions. "Hans-Günter Rolff describes the current reforms as" a stopover on the "long march" to a still pending consistent and fundamental educational reform. "
