Valid point for FirstGens. #FirstGen
Actively demystifying the hidden curriculum is a key obligation of supervisors and mentors at all levels, including in the classroom, peer-to-peer mentoring, and in informal conversations.

Auch die Daten bei der Studienstiftung zeigen, dass bei firstgens mit/ohne Migrationshintergrund noch viel Luft nach oben ist. Die Daten in der Wissenschaft, erhoben von Christina Möller, zeigen ein noch drastischeres Bild. Positive Gegenbspe sind gut, aber sie bleiben leider die Ausnahme zur Regel.
