The 2025 coalition agreement between CDU/CSU and SPD outlines ambitious goals for Germany’s education system. At its core are data-driven school development, competence-building, and fairness. In this article, we show how Mentafy can help schools implement these priorities effectively.

Key Educational Goals in the 2025 Coalition Agreement

The federal government has set clear educational goals to prepare Germany for the future. These include:

• Data-driven school development through a national education tracking register

• Targeted competence development using AI-based and adaptive learning systems

• More educational equity through fair performance evaluation

These objectives aim to improve the overall quality of education and promote equal opportunities.

Mentafy and the Core Goals of the Coalition Agreement

Data-driven School Development
The coalition agreement envisions a data-informed approach to monitoring and improving educational processes. A national register will track student progress over time. Mentafy supports this vision by analyzing writing processes in real-time and documenting how each text is created. This gives educators deep insight into individual learning needs and enables data-informed decisions for better teaching.

Digital Competence Building
A key federal goal is the integration of digital, adaptive learning tools in schools. Mentafy develops exactly that: AI-based tools that support students in academic writing. Our smart tutoring systems help learners strengthen essential skills like critical thinking, argumentation, and text structure.

Fairness and Equal Opportunity
Fairness means recognizing genuine effort—and preventing cheating via AI tools. Mentafy creates transparency by tracking the writing process and identifying whether a text was created independently. This boosts student motivation to work honestly, as authentic work is clearly recognized and rewarded.

What Exactly Does Mentafy Do?

Mentafy continuously analyzes the writing process as texts are being created, enabling:

• Process-based analytics: Real-time documentation for individual competence assessments.

• Authorship reports: Secure verification of whether a text was written independently.

• Adaptive AI tutoring (in development): Personalized writing support during the writing process.

How Mentafy Aligns with the Coalition Agreement

Mentafy directly contributes to the following goals in the coalition agreement:

1. Data-driven School Development: Mentafy provides precise, process-based data schools can use to evaluate learning progress and implement targeted improvements.

2. Education Tracking Register: Mentafy data can feed into long-term learning records, documenting students’ writing development as part of a broader educational profile.

3. Measurable Competence Goals: Mentafy allows schools to monitor writing skills over time and clearly track progress toward individual learning goals.

4. Digital Adaptive Learning Systems: Mentafy is building AI-based tutoring systems that accompany students throughout the writing process, even when AI tools are used, supporting students in developing genuine skills.

5. Fairness and Equity: By making authorship and independent performance transparent, Mentafy supports fair evaluation and promotes equal opportunities.

Practical Integration – How Schools Can Get Started Now

To quickly see the benefits of Mentafy, we recommend the following steps:

• Launch pilot projects: Schools can implement Mentafy in selected classrooms to gain experience and generate measurable outcomes. Over 50 schools and universities have already piloted Mentafy successfully.

• Train teachers: We provide handouts, presentations, videos, and regular webinars (at least once per semester) to help educators effectively use Mentafy’s reports and data for targeted student support.

• Integrate with existing systems: Mentafy fits seamlessly into current digital infrastructures. Students can keep working in their preferred word processors, while teachers can continue reviewing texts as usual.

• Enable continuous evaluation: Schools can use Mentafy data to guide internal development. At the individual level, writing process data provides detailed learning diagnostics; at the school level, it helps track overall competence growth and guide strategic planning.

Mentafy is ready to help Germany’s schools achieve the bold and vital goals outlined in the coalition agreement. Let’s build a future of effective and fair education—together.
