Here is an article for you regarding the German education system since you asked.

Has Germany's state education system failed? – DW – 12/23/2023

Education is free in Germany, but amid teacher shortages and poor performance ratings, more parents are opting to send their kids to private schools. Will soon only wealthy families be able to afford a good education?

Ok. So if it has failed, why? And what are the proposed solutions? From what I can see from the headline, the Daily Mail has failed to tell the actual story - so yeah, it's a dog whistle pretending to be news.

I don't know, I've never been to Germany. Have you OP?

Yes I have, many times! My cousin is married to a German man & they have kids in school there. Education is on the decline like it is here due to similar problems regarding teacher shortages, absenteeism etc. There is a lot wrong within the country.

I don't particularly think it's in poor taste, there has been many similar articles regarding German integration over the years from many different news outlets including many German new sources.

It's from The Daily Mail like Suella Braverman they have an "interesting" - and I am being polite - history on race relations...

I dont know much about germany but i think its in pretty poor taste to post this now when racists are trying to exploit the terrible events in southport.

I agree @FumingTRex

Smells of yet more dog whistles
