This report issued by the Minister of Public Education for the Saarland reviews current governmental policies and plans designed to effect an improved system of instruction from the primary to the university level. Consideration is also given to continuing education and education for the handicapped. Proceeding on the premise that the task of education is to serve the individual and society equally, the report outlines theses for a reorganization of curriculum intended to ensure coordinated, stepwise progression from one level to the next. The importance of several preliminary measures is discussed; these include intensified teacher training, educational experiments, and analysis of the intrinsic differences between academic and vocational curriculums. In addition, practical concerns such as student-teacher ratios and financial needs are taken into account. A series of tables provides a chart of learning goals for all grades, a break-down of schools by region, and a tally of student population by institutional type. (RS)
