Man, this stuff makes my head spin! But I think I get it now. In der Kooperativen Realschule werden die Jugendlichen nach der gemeinsamen Orientierungsstufe in abschlussbezogenen Klassen unterrichtet. This is lower-level than the Hochschulreife, which is a certificate of general aptitude to enter higher education. This would entitle your chappie to enter, you guessed it, Fachoberschule! Defined as a \'college specialising in particular subjects\'. The Fachoberschulreife would sound reasonable as a qualification. Essentially the top stream from 10-14 then down a stream for 14-17 (unless he did Oberstufe at Realschule, which is fairly unusual!). I have a diagram that explains this which I can e-mail if you send me your adddress!īoth Realschule and Gymnasium would start at about age 10, so if he went from Gymnasium to Realschule, he must have gone downhill. In 'Facts about Germany', they are translated as 'elementary', 'secondary' and 'grammar' respectively.Įssentially, the most gifted children go to the Gymnasium, and the least academically gifted to the Hauptschule, where the emphasis is more on vocational training. The Gymnasium almost invariably has an Oberstufe (sixth-form), Realschule sometimes does and Hauptschule almost invariable doesn't. There are three different schools at the secondary level, Hauptschule, Realschule and Gymnasium. The difference is primarily one of aptitude. Realschule English translation: grammar school comprehensive (British English)
