This year's Abitur class from the Free State is corona steeled. Despite everything, the Bavarian students repeated last year's record high school diploma with a state-wide average of 2.15. The eventful time will come to an end this Friday: Then the 35,000 Bavarian high school graduates...

Three written exams, two oral, then it's done - or not. High school diplomas will be available at the end of June. At the technical and vocational schools, the exams begin at the end of May, and at the end of June the final exams at the middle schools and...
