Abitur after twelve years
- Abitur after twelve years
_de. Abitur after twelve years, or _de. Gymnasium in eight years (often abbreviated as "G8" or "G 8"; often mentioned _de. "Turbo-Abitur" or _de. "Turbo-Abi" in the German media) describes the reduction from the duration in the "Gymnasium" from nine to eight school years in a lot of States of Germany. In the States Berlin, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern the reduction took place from seven to six years because, there, primary education goes until grade 6. The principal argument for the reduction are the comparatively long times for vocational education in Germany.
In Eastern Germany it is, however, already a long established norm to take the _de. Abitur after twelve years. [ [http://www.spiegel.de/schulspiegel/wissen/0,1518,534437,00.html _de. Spiegel Online: _de. "Im Osten nichts Neues"] ]
Criticism
In part, parents’, teachers’ and students’ organizations express violent criticism, exclusive from the Western States of Germany. [ [http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,528522,00.html _de. Spiegel Online: _de. "Diebstahl der Kindheit"] ] In spite of the removal of one school year, all contents of the, now thirteen, school years are arranged. This means that the school timetable is enlarged and that the students have to be at school for fifty hours a week.
