Munich (dpa / lby) - At secondary schools, grammar schools and business schools in Bavaria, no more homework will be written this school year - the so-called large performance certificates are no longer required.
The only exceptions are final classes and the eleventh grade at grammar schools - theoretically there can still be school assignments there.
The Ministry of Culture announced this on Monday in Munich.
Education Minister Michael Piazolo (Free Voters) justified the decision with the fact that many pupils are only now returning to face-to-face or alternating classes, thanks to falling incidence values and the new limit value of 165. He therefore emphasized: “The focus will be here in the coming weeks clearly focus on securing basic knowledge and basic competencies. Our students have to find their way back first. We want to avoid time pressure and excessive pressure to perform. "
At the schools at which the number of large performance certificates is specified, there will therefore no longer be any homework this year.
"We want meaningful feedback on the performance level at the end of the school year this year too - but not excessive pressure from too many certificates of achievement," said Piazolo.
"Even if only one school assignment were written per subject, there would often be a concentration - and we want to prevent that."
So-called small certificates of achievement could still be given everywhere, in writing and orally, "of course here too with a sense of proportion".
At other types of school, for example middle school, the teaching staff have more leeway anyway, according to the Ministry of Culture.
