Deutschsprachiger Unterricht in Rumänien
ein Überblick über die Wahrnehmung der Stärken, Probleme und Chancen
von Adriana Hermann, Liana Regina Iunesch, Tita Mihaiu und Diana ZoppeltGerman-language schools in Romania are regarded as an attractive educational
alternative leading to increased opportunities in the labour market. Despite this positive
perception, since 1989 and due, in part, to the massive emigration of the German
minority, German-language schools have been confronted with problems which
threaten their continued existence. There is, however, no scientific research on the
perception of these specific strengths and problems, and no studies on the measures
necessary to preserve German minority schools. The present study investigates the
perception of teachers as internal stakeholders of the system (N = 136), respectively
parents and alumni as external stakeholders (N = 366) on the strengths of German-
language education, the issues it faces and the measures necessary to safeguard it for
the future. One third of participants in the study were native German speakers (N = 155), and two thirds native Romanian speakers (N = 343). Data were collected
nationally, both in regions with a high concentration of German-language schools (N =
242) and in regions where these institutions are relatively sparse (N = 222). The aim of
the study is to provide a representative description of various stakeholders' perceptions
of the German-language school system, and to make the results available for policy-
makers in education within and without Romanian borders.
