Dilapidated school buildings, overcrowded classrooms, rough behavior in the playground - there are many problems in German schools. However, none of these bothers students as much as the lack of use of digital media in lessons : 59 percent of students in Germany see this as one of the most pressing problems.

56 percent complain about poor technical equipment. This is the result of a representative survey of 503 students aged 14 to 19 in secondary schools in Germany, which was carried out on behalf of the digital association Bitkom in January and February of this year.

These two aspects rank far above all others: 43 israel gambling data percent cite interactions with one another as the most pressing problem, 42 percent cite general class cancellations and 38 percent cite overcrowded classes. Around 3 in 10 students (29 percent) criticize outdated learning content , 22 percent complain about incompetent teachers and 18 percent about dilapidated school buildings.

The lack of digital media in lessons particularly affects secondary school students (69 percent), as well as 53 percent of middle school students, 62 percent of students at integrated comprehensive schools and 57 percent of high school students. The poor technical equipment is equally distributed across all types of schools.

"These figures should wake us up - especially in view of the fact that schools are closed for several weeks to contain the corona virus. Wherever digital media are not yet an integral part of teaching, it will now be particularly difficult to guide students successfully through the coming weeks and months," says Bitkom President Achim Berg.
