Abstract:
This thesis is a comparative study of educational reforms in two German States, Bavaria and Berlin, following reactions to PISA scores and rankings after 2000. The purpose is to understand the objectives of the reforms implemented and whether goals were met. Since the outcry post PISA 2000 was due to the failures of the education system in regards to youth of migrant background within the secondary school system, the study will analyze what has been discovered and whether the introduced reforms have addressed and improved on these issues.
