Push Down the "Berlin Wall" in 2021

Abstract

We analyze the various indicators of the German higher education system. We compute the total Gini coefficient
of education in Germany in the past ten years and found that the fairness of the Germany higher education system needs to be
improved. To explore the reasons for the lack of equity, we decompose the educational Gini coefficient and concluded that the
cause is the uneven distribution of educational resources between East and West Germany.
Therefore, we focus our policy on balancing the educational resources of East and West Germany. We establish a resource transfer
matrix to alleviate the uneven distribution of educational resources. Finally, we verify that the policies we proposed can improve
the German education system well and have a profound impact on society and the country.
