Education chaos in Saxony-Anhalt: Feussner fires Prime Minister!
Magdeburg, Deutschland - in Saxony-Anhalt there are currently large upheavals in education policy. Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff dismissed the Minister of Education Eva Feussner from her offices on June 29, 2025. The background to this drastic decision is the continuing tensions within the CDU parliamentary group and massive criticism of Feussner's way of working.
Feussner had previously advised the crossfire of criticism after she had abolished the ski courses for students as part of the sporting lesson. This decision caused a lot of resentment within the party and led to a clarifying conversation in the State Chancellery in Magdeburg. In addition to Feussner, CDU state chief Sven Schulze and the education policy spokesman Carsten Borchert also took part in this appointment. The conversation lasted two hours, but the participants were silent about the results, which further increased the tense situation. A government spokesman said that there is still no information about the results, but they are expected during the day. [WELT] reports that Feussner's proposal to increase the minimum number of minimum school students in cities such as Halle and Magdeburg had to be withdrawn, which further shaken trust in the minister.
The reasons behind the discharge
The decision to dismiss came after massive public and party -internal criticism. The CDU parliamentary deputies accuse Feussner of often going alone and lacking important votes. This led to a great loss of trust in the faction and left doubts about their suitability.
This should not only be made on the abolition of the ski courses, but also on the general changes that took place in the educational landscape of Saxony-Anhalt during their term. The CDU, which traditionally places a strong focus on education, sees the current development a danger to the future of the students and the quality of the lesson as a whole.What's next?
The successor to Feussner is still unclear, but the CDU will soon have to search for a suitable candidate in order to pull the rudder around in the conference of the Ministry of Education. Until then, the political landscape in Saxony-Anhalt will remain excited and communication on the part of the government should be followed carefully in the next few days.
