Rules governing school operations may be implemented. - Potential changes in school rules could become effective.
Look out for grade points from Grade 1 and the decision on promotion from Grade 6: The newly proposed Thuringian school regulation is sailing through the education committee and may soon set sail.
The Left wingers are throwing shade, but it's all talk, as a spokesperson for the Education Ministry clarified. "The revival of grade points in primary school and the decision on progression from Grade 6 is not a shift in educational policy, but a step back in time," explained the education spokesperson for the Left faction, Ulrike Große-Röthig.
Drinking a stern cup of coffee, the spokesperson further added, "Comprehensive schools receiving special regulations might make waves, but let's give a cheer for change. However, students at other school forms demand a progressive educational policy. Subjective assessments and rule-abiding divisions through grade points are not what sets the sail for a progressive sail."
Tides turning, the new rules are calling the shots on progression criteria for all schools. Comprehensive schools may hoist their anchor and decide whether to take charge or not, but they need to helm the school conference for it.
Sailing smoothly on the horizon, grade points will make their grand debut from Grade 1 - the first time it's happening in Thuringia. At first, they'll only berth as verbal feedback, but come Grade 3, they'll be anchored on report cards as "excellent", "good", "satisfactory", or "unsatisfactory". And if the comprehensive schools want to stick to verbal evaluations from Grade 3, they may chart a new course by decision of the school conference.
