Minister of Education released fire: Who is Jan Riedel?

Halle (Saale), Deutschland - In Saxony-Anhalt, the wind of change is drawn through education policy. Minister of Education Eva Feußner was made by Prime Minister Dr. Discarded Reiner Haseloff, on request from the CDU. This was done in accordance with the coalition agreement, which was concluded by the CDU, SPD and FDP and contains clear regulations on the government. Feussner has been working in various positions in the Ministry of Education since 2018 and took over the responsibility for the minister on September 16, 2021. In an official statement, Haseloff thanked her for years of work.

The new man at the head of the educational department is senior study director Jan Riedel. He will be officially presented on July 2, 2025 at 1.30 p.m. in the State Chancellery. Riedel, 43 years old and born in Borna in Saxony, has a lot of experience. He has been working in the state service since 2010, initially as a teacher at the Wernigerode City High School and at the Giebichenstein-Gymnasium in Halle (Saale). He is currently heading the Lyonel Feininger-Gymnasium in Halle and is also the city council chairman. His marriage and the five children show that he is also a family person privately.

a new course in education policy

The decision to replace Feussner and the appointment of Riedel is part of the political agreements that the CDU, SPD and FDP have determined in the coalition agreement for the election period 2021 to 2026. Under the lead word "We design Saxony-Anhalt. Strong. Modern. Misorpiece. Correct. Lawy." the course for a future -oriented education policy should be set. The focus is particularly on the cooperation of migrant organizations, religious communities and other actors to promote integration and equality in Saxony-Anhalt.

riedel is expected to deal with topics that are dealt with in the coalition agreement on pages 83 to 94, in particular those on democracy, equality and integration. The integration concept, which was already adopted in December 2020, could serve as an important basis for further promoting the integration process in schools. The integration work in sports clubs, welfare associations and cultural institutions is also supported in order to design a strong and just Saxony-Anhalt.

The political landscape in Saxony-Anhalt remains exciting, while Jan Riedel will take on the challenge of actively shaping the educational landscape in the country and setting the necessary impulses for a modern and inclusive education policy.

The coming weeks will show how Riedel can implement his visions and whether he will meet the high demands of the coalition. Education policy is definitely a central topic that affects many citizens, and it remains to be hoped that the new minister has a good hand.
