Abstract

Initiatives taken to democratize secondary education, business and industrial demands for manpower with sophisticated technological training, and the hope on the part of large numbers of citizens from the more modest levels of society for upward social mobility have placed new and serious strains upon the traditional structure of higher education in the Federal Republic of Germany. The Draft Plan for a Comprehensive System of Higher Education is considered by many observers to be a significant official response to the university crisis. In this study, Dr. Eilsberger, a staff member of the Federal Ministry of Education and Science, analyzes the Draft Plan and compares it to similar strategies in several other countries. His article first appeared in Die Deutsche Universitats-Zeitung vereinigt mit Hochschul-Dienst, June 1, 1972.
