ProDemos, which organizes the national school elections, states that as a rule the result does not deviate very much from the real election result. Teacher Jesse Heuting also notices that students often put the same subjects on the agenda. “You notice that sustainability is an item that many students find important. But also diversity: you see here at school, for example, that students are working on their gender identity. Discrimination is also a subject that many students consider in their choice.” Furthermore, the environment, youth and the housing market are mentioned as important topics.
