A look into the future
The school community warmly congratulated the graduates and wished them much success for the future. The graduates of a year not only take the knowledge they have acquired out into the world, they are also part of a larger educational landscape in Germany, which is characterized by different federal states. In some federal states, students take the exams after 12 years, while in others it can take 13 years to achieve the Abitur.
These differences in the education systems can influence the comparability of the Abitur grades, as the grades from the upper school factor into the Abino grade to varying degrees. Nevertheless, the Abitur remains a desirable qualification for many students and continues to be highly valued despite increasing failure rates.
For the 2025 high school graduates of the Lauenburg School of Scholars in Ratzeburg, a new phase of life begins that offers many opportunities and challenges. For all graduates it is now time: off to new shores!
