In Schleswig-Holstein, the number of spelling errors in German lessons will no longer be crucial for students from the coming school year. The reform eliminates the so-called error quotient for assessing spelling skills.
Entrepreneur Wolfgang Grupp railed against a new spelling reform in German schools.

The PISA results were published in the journal ‘PISA: The World’s Leading Study of Spelling and Grammar’, published by the International Publishers Association (IPA).
