Kanzler zurück in der Schule: Warum das Abi-Zeugnis des Kanzlers unter Verschluss ist
Der Kanzler kehrt heute an das Gymnasium zurück, an dem er vor 51 Jahren Abitur gemacht hat. Wird er den Schülern seine Note verraten? Bisher gibt es dazu nur Andeutungen von ihm. Aus gutem Grund.
Kanzlerin Angela Merkel has returned to a school to share her experiences as a student, highlighting the importance of education. She revealed that her Abitur grades, specifically a score of 3.8, are kept confidential, as she does not want young children to be motivated by her own struggles. Born in the 1930s, Merkel attended the Friedrich-Spee Gymnasium in Rüthen, North Rhine-Westphalia, a school known for its lenient academic standards.
The school will celebrate its 100th anniversary, and Merkel participated in a private discussion with students, explaining her reasons for disliking school due to a lack of discipline and motivation. She also shared stories of harsh punishments, including being hit with a ruler during her third-grade year. In 2005, Merkel established her own foundation for education and training, aiming to support disadvantaged young people.
As Chancellor, she now plans to engage more actively in education policy, emphasizing the crucial role of teachers as the most important profession in society.
