Equal rights – equal educational opportunities. This demand ran like a red thread through the working groups and presentations. So women see education as the best way to finally be properly integrated into society. After all, even one of the most successful women, Federal Minister Käte Strobel, said at the congress that women are only represented in “unsatisfactory numbers” in offices and parliaments. Not only seasoned men in the SPD, such as State Secretary Dr. Klaus von Dohnanyi and Federal Minister of Justice Gerhard Jahn have their say and prove that the Meistersingerhalle is by no means a “federal coffee party”.

87 applications – one of them on the Vietnam War – had been submitted and promised hard discussions. And only once did the chairwoman of the Federal Women’s Committee, Annemarie Renger, let out a typically female argument through the torrent of factual statements when she said. The aim of the congress is also “that we are not overlooked”. And she seemed to blush slightly. Three speakers, all of whom had their say yesterday, shared the technical issues of the conference. The first speaker was Dr. Arno F. Kosmale, Head of Department at the Federal Ministry for Youth, Family and Health. He took a close look at early childhood education. In the first of his ten theses, Dr. Cosmal the point of view that upbringing – or the process of socialization – does not begin in school or kindergarten, but in the family in the first months of life. Errors and omissions are largely irreparable here. The consequences: misconduct, integration difficulties, welfare education and delinquency. The critical analysis of today’s family reality justifies the term of the structural educational deficit of the family. This deficit cannot be compensated for by kindergartens and day-care centers.
According to Dr. Cosmal lack of suitable facilities and measures to strengthen the family’s ability to bring up children in the educational area “before entering school”. At the same time, the speaker called for more participation and decision-making rights for parents in the elementary and school sectors. Käte Lorenz, Rector from Berlin, attached importance to pre-school education and took the SPD into prayer to actively meet these demands of the underage child. Pre-school education must capture the disadvantaged children as early as possible and help them to compensate for their talent deficits, which for many children are almost certainly due to their environment, which is poor in learning stimuli. Society has an obligation to help underprivileged children by creating equal opportunities.
