Here too, however, should be proceeded with a "sense of proportion".
According to the Ministry of Culture, the scope for secondary schools is more flexible with regard to performance surveys.

Corona in Bavaria: State school spokesman expresses clear criticism shortly before the exams
The exam conditions are extremely difficult this year - and the organizational effort for teachers and students is enormous.

“There are also classrooms for people who refuse masks.
It's a huge organizational effort, ”said the state student spokesman in the conversation.
According to Meusel, it is also problematic that many students were in distance learning for months due to the high incidence values *.
Their preparation for the Abitur is therefore much worse than with students who have been able to attend school for a long time.
"There's a huge discrepancy there," he said.
