Munich (dpa / lby) - After the Abitur exams, the final exams will also be postponed at all other types of schools due to the corona pandemic: at secondary schools, secondary schools and business schools by two, at technical colleges and vocational high schools by a good three weeks.

The Ministry of Culture announced on Monday in Munich.

In the upper grades of grammar schools and elementary schools, the number of exams and test work will also be reduced again - a logical consequence of the current school closings, which were previously limited to the end of the month.

"This school year under the sign of the global corona pandemic requires special measures," said Minister of Education Michael Piazolo (Free Voters). "It is important to me: We provide all young people in the respective final classes with fair conditions for their upcoming exams." Even in grade four, when the transfer to secondary schools is pending, time pressure is removed.
