Rolling Out Grades and Retention Policies in Thuringian Schools
Regulation in Schools May Become Implemented - Potential school rules could potentially be implemented.
Ahead in the near future, children can be graded as early as Class 1, with the option of retention starting from Class 6: The recent approval of new school regulations in Thuringia's Education Committee allows for these policies to take effect.
The opposition from The Left faction seems futile, as a representative from the Ministry of Education has confirmed. "Introducing grades in primary school and determining promotion from Class 6 is not a pivot in educational policy, but a step backwards into a bygone era," asserted the education spokesperson for The Left faction, Ulrike Große-Röthig.
The news of special provisions for comprehensive schools is declared as a positive development. "Still, students at other educational institutions demand a visionary educational policy. Subjective evaluations and rule-bound decisions through grades don't contribute to this progress," the politician critiques.
Under the new directives, decisions regarding promotion from Class 6 can be made at all schools. Comprehensive schools can pick and choose to implement this rule, requiring a resolution from the school conference, though.
Grades will be introduced from the first class, beginning with verbal feedback initially, but by Class 3, students will receive a grade on their report card ranging from "excellent" to "unsatisfactory." Comprehensive schools may opt to stick with verbal performance evaluation until Class 3 with a resolution from the school conference.
