Beyond Prestige: What Really Determines the Resilience of International Schools in Southeast Asia
International schools in Southeast Asia have long benefited from stable demand driven by expat populations, rising local affluence, and the perceived value of global education pathways. But this stability is beginning to shift. As mobility patterns change, international study becomes less predictable, and affordability pressures rise, schools are operating in a more complex and volatile environment. This raises a critical question: what truly makes an educational institution resilient—not just attractive—from the outside?
From Curiosity to Impact – a framework for Transformative Education
What happens when we stop seeing learning as the delivery of knowledge and start viewing it as a process of inquiry? This essay tells the story of how a conversation in a school leadership team grew into a framework that connects curiosity, research and real-world impact.

Nicht KI ist das Risiko – zu langsame Anpassung ist es
Dieser Beitrag trifft einen zentralen Nerv der aktuellen Bildungsdebatte: Künstliche Intelligenz ist kein weiteres digitales Zusatzthema, sondern verändert grundlegende Fragen von Lernen, Leistung und Bewertung. Genau deshalb reicht es nicht, KI mit einzelnen Projekten oder Verboten zu beantworten.
Schule der Zukunft: „Unterricht ist anspruchsvoll, daher braucht man ein Team, um ihn richtig gut zu machen“
Der Beitrag zeigt einmal mehr: Gute Schule ist kein Erkenntnisproblem, sondern ein Umsetzungsproblem. Viele der beschriebenen Ansätze sind längst bekannt und werden in einzelnen Schulen bereits erfolgreich praktiziert.
Die eigentliche Herausforderung liegt darin, Unterricht und Schulorganisation so zu gestalten, dass Zusammenarbeit nicht die Ausnahme bleibt, sondern zum Standard wird. Solange gute Praxis von einzelnen Akteuren abhängt, bleibt systemische Wirkung begrenzt.
Trendmonitor Spezial: Regelungen zur schulischen KI-Nutzung im Überblick
Der aktuelle Trendmonitor bestätigt viele bereits bekannte Erkenntnisse zum Einsatz von KI in Schulen: Es fehlt weniger an Konzepten als an klarer Umsetzung im Alltag.
Aus meiner Sicht liegt die eigentliche Herausforderung weniger in neuen Studien als vielmehr in den strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen – von fehlender Fortbildung über rechtliche Unsicherheiten bis hin zu begrenzten Ressourcen im System Schule. KI wird so schnell zur Frage einzelner engagierter Akteure statt zu einer systematisch verankerten Kompetenz.
Former Grok 3 engineer urges schools to prioritize math over specialized AI classes
This article highlights a debate currently shaping many education systems: should schools introduce dedicated AI subjects, or focus more on strengthening foundational competencies?
I tend to agree with the view presented here that mathematical and analytical thinking provide the more sustainable foundation. At the same time, I believe AI should not be taught as a standalone subject, but rather integrated as a tool across learning processes – as a capability for lifelong learning, not a short-lived trend.

Zehn Hebel für die Schule der Zukunft – Was die Serie zeigt, was international gilt und was Deutschland daraus machen kann
Die Artikelserie „Zehn Hebel für die Schule der Zukunft“ zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie moderne Bildung gelingen kann – wissenschaftlich fundiert, international anschlussfähig und weit entfernt von tradierten deutschen Schulstrukturen. Im Zentrum stehen neurobiologische Erkenntnisse, die Bedeutung von Beziehung und psychologischer Sicherheit, kompetenzorientiertes Lernen, flexible Lernräume, Bewegung und Rhythmisierung, pädagogische Führung sowie ein inklusives Verständnis von Leistung. Der internationale Vergleich macht deutlich: Viele erfolgreiche Bildungssysteme setzen diese Prinzipien längst um. Für Deutschland bedeutet das einen Paradigmenwechsel – weg von Stofffülle, Selektion und Belehrung, hin zu Lernarchitektur, Inklusion und echter Schulentwicklung. Die Serie zeigt zugleich konkrete Wege, wie Schulen diesen Wandel praktisch gestalten können.
