Sobhi is 11 years old and has been a German citizen for a few weeks. His parents fled Syria to Germany.
Sobhi is exactly between the high school and district school recommendations. His primary school class teacher had also wavered and found that both paths were right for him. Unfortunately, segregation in Hamburg has a system. The schools in the neighborhoods of the rich keep children from poor families away. The result is that the schools with the best average Abi grades are all in the exclusive districts.
