Learning was also made more difficult for future examinees due to corona measures. There was no proper instruction for 38 weeks. And because the material could not be caught up so quickly, the school authorities say they want to compensate for the disadvantages for the students caused by the pandemic. However, for the last time: 2024 will be the end of it, said school senator Ties Rabe (SPD).
Abi exam: More time and more detailed information
“The regulations largely correspond to the regulations that were made for the final exams in the 2021/22 school year,” said Rabe. Among other things, the processing time for written Abitur exams will be extended by 30 minutes. In addition, the young people receive more detailed information about the Abitur topics in order to be able to prepare in a more targeted manner.
Intermediate school leaving certificate: only three exams
The number of final exams for the intermediate school leaving certificate, which can also be used to gain access to the upper secondary school, will again be halved from six exams to three. The processing time for the two written exams will also be extended by 30 minutes.
No final exams for the first school leaving certificate
The final exams for the first general school leaving certificate are to be completely dispensed with one last time. Instead, the annual grade of the individual subjects for the final certificate is formed on the basis of the teaching performance.
Approval from the CDU and the left
The decision met with approval across party lines: the CDU and the left also think it’s right that there is this bonus again, so that school leavers are not disadvantaged by poorer grades in their certificates. The Left would have found it better if some pressure was permanently removed from the young people. The CDU urges that it be checked carefully whether learning residues from the Corona period could be broken down.
