School - Southwest wants to put old school-leaving exams online in future
The Baden-Württemberg Cultural Ministry will make old Abitur examination tasks available for free preparation. The tasks are supposed to be made public on the internet, as a spokesperson of the ministry in Stuttgart announced on a Wednesday. The exact timing could not be specified at first. However, it is planned that the current material will be made available online in the future every October. Previously, the Südwestrundfunk had reported on this.
So far, Abitur examination tasks for practice have been available to buy in bookstores. However, due to copyright reasons, the land could not make them public itself. This is supposed to change. According to the Cultural Ministry, in the future, the Institute for Educational Analysis Baden-Württemberg will make the tasks available for free on its website. Copyright-protected parts, such as literary texts, will be blurred and supplemented with source references. And it will not stop there – for other school-leaving exams, the Ministry also plans to make the examination tasks public in the future.
Cultural Ministry
- The Baden-Württemberg Cultural Ministry, located in Stuttgart, Southwest Germany, will make old Abitur examination tasks available on the internet for free preparation for education.
- Scheduled for public availability every October, these tasks were previously available for purchase in bookstores but were copyright-protected, preventing the ministry from making them free.
- In the future, instead of buying the Abitur tasks from bookstores, students can visit the Institute for Educational Analysis Baden-Württemberg's website for free access, as the ministry plans to release these tasks without charges.
- Extending the offering beyond Abitur, the Ministry of Culture intends to make examination tasks for other school-leaving exams available online in future years, contributing to a better-prepared educational community and shaping the future of learning in Baden-Württemberg.
