The failed exams will be made up for in North Rhine-Westphalia this Friday, the festival of breaking the fast. Apparently nobody thought of the Muslim schoolchildren when planning this event.
Nowhere else in Germany do so many Muslims live as in North Rhine-Westphalia. More than 1.5 million. A not inconsiderable number of young people are likely to have studied biology, chemistry, nutrition, computer science, physics and technology in the past few weeks. It is all the more incomprehensible that the high school exams planned for Wednesday have simply been postponed to this Friday due to technical problems. Of all things. On Eid al-Fitrthe festival of breaking the fast, also known colloquially as the Sugar Festival – one of the most important holidays for 1.9 billion people worldwide, and for 5.5 million of the 82 million people in Germany.
