Our companies have long since recognised that we need a transformation in education and training of current and future employees. Even now, eight out of ten companies across all sectors state that further training of their qualified personnel in the digital working world is decisive for their competitive strength. The greatest need was perceived in data analysis skills (45%), social media competence (35%) and programming (35%), but data protection and data security (25%) also play an important role. We need a Digital Learning Strategy that will be supported by all stakeholders. Digital technology should not be rejected across the board, rather be made a key component of an educational policy focused on self-determination in an open and well-thought-out process. Not only businesses and politicians are requesting this. A new survey shows that almost three-fourths of all teachers (73%) support this effort. Our goals: • I n 2025 every school pupil will have basic knowledge in information science, how algorithms function and in programming. In order to achieve this, appropriate courses must be required in lesson plans in the primary and secondary schools and in teacher education and continued training. •B  y 2025, Germany will be one of the leaders in digital infrastructure in the education sector. •B  y 2025, the workplace should be the number one place to acquire the newest IT knowledge. •B  y 2025, all publicly financed educational institutions should make essential teaching material available online. In order to reach these goals, we must push for education in and for the digital world in 2025 at all levels – starting at school, including the dual system of vocational training, on up to university and professional continuing education. To promote digital education and to improve the digital infrastructure in the education sector, the federal government and states must work together more than ever before.
