Baden-Württemberg Teachers' Union Urges AI-Era Overhaul of School Exams

Student leaders back the move with proposals for debate-based grading.

Overview

  • GEW says advances in artificial intelligence mean state schools need new examination formats.
  • Union chair Monika Stein questions no-calculator sections in mathematics tests as outdated in 2025.
  • She argues cooperative work should be standard even during stressful assessments to reflect real workplaces.
  • The Landesschülerbeirat supports the push, with chair Joshua Meisel proposing debates modeled on Jugend debattiert for grading.
  • The call adds to a broader discussion over the relevance of classic exams in the AI age, with no policy changes announced.
