Welcome to the Competence Centre GrundbildungsPFADE

We are the Competence Centre GrundbildungsPFADE. In collaboration with ten regional projects, we aim to expand basic education structures in these regions by 2028. Our goal is to develop sustainable learning pathways that support long-term access to education.

Drawing on the experience and knowledge gained through these regional initiatives, we also intend to develop a general framework for basic education networks, counselling and learning pathways. This framework will serve as a model that other regions can adapt to develop their own sustainable basic education offerings.

Our joint project, launched between August and October 2024, is part of a new focus area set by the Federal Ministry for Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth as part of the AlphaDekade initiative. Within this framework, the federal government, the federal states, and socio-political partners are collaborating to enhance basic education and improve the literacy skills of adults with reading and writing difficulties in Germany.
