The Schüler Union Deutschlands (Pupil's Union of Germany) or SU is a student organisation based on the CDU- and CSU in Germany. Their purpose is to represent the conservative interests of the students on a national basis. Established in 1972[1] to resist the left wing education policy of students and teachers, the Student Union regards itself as a service provider for students, especially for student representations. It is formally organised as suborganisation from the Youth Union[2], but in reality they are independent[3]. The Pupils Union Germany has on a national basis more than 10,000 members and is in the CDU/CSU regarded and conducted as a “specialised association”.
Philosophy[edit]
General political position[edit]
The organisation describes in their basic programme to be a Christian- social, liberal and conservative interest group for all students in Germany. The SU represents the opinions of the students in a political way. In some cases they confront with the statutory Schülervertretungen (students' representation).
The organisation stands up for democracy and works to act in accordance with the Christian conception of humanity, including the responsibility for others, including charity and the community as a symbol for solidarity instead of a fight for dominance. They arrogate for a positive patriotism and the implementation of the European ideal . The SU regards the Christian-civil values as their guiding culture[4]. One of the organisation's main topics is the digitization. [5]
Education Policy[edit]
The organisation is the only student association that is standing for the traditional German school system, consisting of the Hauptschulausbildung (Lower Secondary Education), Realschulausbildung (Middle School Education) and the gymnasiale Oberstufenausbildung (Academic high school/Grammar School Education). The SU claims that those three school types should develop their own profiles and that the changes from one school type to another should become less complicated for students. In addition the SU espouses equal opportunities, education at the early stages of life, more efficient teaching staff and equipment at the schools, a democratic participation of the students as well as an independent and autonomous work of the schools and the students representations.[4]
History[edit]
The organisation was founded in 1972 on a national basis, arising from the “Verband Kritischer Schüler” (Association of critical students). [6]The establishment stands in direct relation to the German student movement of the late 1960s, which also affected the schools. The SU rose in opposition to the student body and teaching staff of the 1968s who wanted to change the German political and social system fundamentally[7].

Organisation[edit]
Structure[edit]
The organisation is divided into the different states of Germany, resulting from the German federal school system[8]. The national board is responsible for the coordination of the different state associations. Most state associations are independent[2].
Institution of the national association[edit]
The highest committee of the SU is their general assembly, the BST (Bundesschülertagung), where the delegates of all states discuss and review then vote on education political applications and elect a new board.[2]
Within the year the chairmen of the different states as well as the national board hold meetings to coordinate the political cooperation of the different state associations and to prepare measures in the educational policy.[9]
