Education policy is a decisive electoral issue for a large share of voters in eastern Germany, and parties must respond to it with concrete proposals for strengthening schools.

The text reports on a representative poll conducted by the market research firm F&P on behalf of Greenpeace. Around 80 percent of eligible voters in the eastern German federal states say that education and schools are important or very important to their voting decision. Nationwide, the figure is around three quarters. The significance is particularly pronounced in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where 61 percent of those surveyed rate education and school policy as very important to their voting decision. Dietmar Kress, head of Greenpeace's education department, warns against neglecting education policy. He calls on parties to provide answers and to show how they intend to strengthen schools. Kress emphasizes that education policy is, for Greenpeace, a matter of democracy policy. The text links current electoral surveys with a political demand directed at parties.

Hamburg, 28. 08. 2026 – Bildungspolitik zählt an der Wahlurne: Rund 80 Prozent der Wahlberechtigten in den ostdeutschen Bundesländern geben an, dass Bildung und Schule für ihre Wahlentscheidung wichtig oder sehr wichtig sind. Bundesweit sind es rund drei Viertel. Das zeigt eine repräsentative Umfrage des Marktforschungsunternehmens F&P unter 1347 Wahlberechtigten im Auftrag von Greenpeace. Besonders deutlich ist die Bedeutung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: Für 61 Prozent der dort Befragten sind Bildungs- und Schulpolitik „sehr wichtig“ für die Wahlentscheidung. „Bildungspolitik zu vernachlässigen ist riskant“, sagt Dietmar Kress, Leiter der Bildungsabteilung von Greenpeace. „Für viele Menschen ist Bildungspolitik ein entscheidendes Thema. Parteien müssen darauf Antworten geben und zeigen, wie sie Schulen stärken wollen. Für uns ist klar: Bildungspolitik ist Demokratiepolitik“, so Kress.
