Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - In North Rhine-Westphalia, around 90,000 students begin their Abitur exams on Friday (9 a.m.) under difficult pandemic conditions.
It starts with the subject English.
Candidates must wear a medical mask during the exams.
If you cannot present a negative corona test, you have to write the exam in a separate room, the Ministry of Education had made it clear.
The prerequisites for fair exams and a full, nationwide comparable Abitur are given despite the adverse circumstances.
The state student council spoke of a very unequal starting position among the high school graduates who had to forego face-to-face classes for months.
The central high school diploma in 2021 is unfair.
Pressure and stress are extreme this year.
The gaps in the knowledge imparted vary in size and there is no nationwide comparability, emphasized the state parents of the grammar schools.
According to the Philologists Association, many high school graduates are worried that they could be infected in the final spurt or that they will have to go into quarantine during the examination phase.
The opposition SPD demanded a “free shot”, meaning that exams that had not been passed could be repeated.
The exams run until April 23rd, the oral exams take place from May 5th.
