After the nationwide Abi exams were canceled at short notice on Wednesday, the school minister canceled an appointment in Essen.
After the first Abitur exams in NRW were postponed at short notice from Wednesday, April 19th to Friday, April 22nd, School Minister Dorothee Feller canceled an originally planned date at an elementary school in Essen on Wednesday morning at short notice.
On Wednesday evening, the Ministry of Education announced that the high school exams scheduled for Wednesday (including in the subjects biology and physics) had to be postponed to Friday, April 22, at very short notice. Numerous schools in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia reported serious problems downloading the tasks on Tuesday. April 22 was actually intended as a day off from exams. The first high school exams of 2023 are now scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 21, as planned – including in the subject of education.
Schools informed families via email
Many schools in Essen informed the families on Tuesday evening with circular e-mails: “We keep our fingers crossed for you and wish you a successful preparation and a good start with the first exams on Thursday”, wrote the management of the Maria-Wächtler- Gymnasium (Rüttenscheid) to all high school students.
School minister Dorothee Feller actually wanted to visit the Bischof-von-Ketteler elementary school in the Bochold district on Wednesday morning. Actress Uschi Glas, who initiated the nationwide project “Brotzeit” six years ago, in which many schools in the Ruhr area now also take part, has announced that she will be there. The “Brotzeit” project ensures that volunteers prepare a free breakfast for the school children in the morning. Irrespective of the new problems with the Abitur, State Secretary Urban Mauer will attend the appointment at the Essen elementary school, according to a statement from Düsseldorf. The school minister has scheduled a press conference in Düsseldorf for eleven o’clock in the morning. The short-term complete postponement of an entire written exam day for the Abitur is unprecedented in the history of the central Abitur in NRW. The central Abitur in North Rhine-Westphalia was introduced in 2007.
