Mainz (dpa / lrs) - Around 12,000 young people in Rhineland-Palatinate have taken the first step to high school - they completed their written exams under strict hygiene measures in school rooms by Wednesday, as announced by the Ministry of Education in Mainz.
Addressing the pupils, Education Minister Stefanie Hubig (SPD) explained: "You may take an Abitur under Corona conditions, but not a Corona Abitur."
This also applies to the other qualifications that are still pending at the vocational schools in Rhineland-Palatinate.
"Unfortunately, high school graduation celebrations and graduation trips will probably not take place as usual this year," said Hubig.
You understand well when many are sad because of it.
"But the good news is: you will soon have your Abitur in your pocket."
The oral Abitur exams are scheduled to begin on March 11th.
In Rhineland-Palatinate, more than 9,000 young people in grade 13 from G9 high schools take the Abitur exams, as do 3,000 at integrated comprehensive schools.
The exams for around 1200 pupils at G8 grammar schools with a grammar school time of eight years begin on April 30, as well as for around 2500 graduates from vocational grammar schools.
In contrast to other federal states such as Saarland, the Abitur exams were not postponed despite the restrictions of the corona situation.
