The position paper of the State Student Council for Everyday Culture and Health at the Pedagogical Universities in Baden-Württemberg demands that the subject Everyday Culture, Nutrition, Social Affairs (AES) be mandatory for all students in secondary level I in the educational plan. The subject should teach students skills for a health-promoting and sustainable everyday life. Currently, AES is only provided as an elective subject starting from 7th grade, which means that not all students have access to this subject. The position paper also argues that a general inclusion of AES in the curriculum would not only benefit the students but also the economy and society. It is pointed out that AES offers relevant educational opportunities for the guiding perspectives of prevention and health promotion, education for sustainable development, and consumer education. Furthermore, it is emphasized that AES can also contribute to raising awareness for gender equality and career orientation in the care sector. The position paper "AES for all" argues that the subject Everyday Culture, Nutrition, Social Affairs (AES) should be mandatory for all students starting from 5th grade. AES lays the foundation for career orientation in the fields of social work, household services, health and care, education and training. A mandatory inclusion of AES could contribute to strengthening career orientation in these areas and alleviate the shortage of teachers. [Extracted from the article]
