Committee of the Leibniz School of Education

The board of the Leibniz School of Education is made up of ten members of the university faculty, three members of research staff, two members of the MTV, as well as four university students. Additionally, two nonvoting university students are part of the board in an advisory position.

In line with the Lower-Saxony University Act, the board discusses and decides matters of importance for teacher education at the Leibniz University Hannover.

Discipline-specific matters are determined by the faculties in consultation with the board of the Leibniz School of Education.

For an active or passive vote in the board, one must be a member of the Leibniz School of Education.

The Leibniz School of Education organizes a student-governed academic commission that is made up of nine university students, four university teachers, as well as four representatives of the research staff.  Members of the student-governed academic commission are assigned by voting members of the board according to their academic level. The student representatives are chosen from all three concentrations of teacher education (university-track secondardy schools, vocational education, special education).

The student-governed academic commission offers advisory information about academic structures and requirements in teacher education and recommends possible changes in these requirements to the board.

In line with system accreditation requirements, the student-governed academic commission leads an annual quality management for interdisciplinary areas of teacher education.

The student-governed academic commission additionally controls a budget for supporting projects and initiatives that promote teacher education at the Leibniz University Hannover.
