Education / Pedagogy / educational systems, elementary/middle school grading systems | | German term or phrase: 6. Klasse | | "Das Schulsystem in den ländlichen Gegenden wird vernachlässigt und die Infrastruktur ist in einem miserablen Zustand. Das Bildungssystem wird wenig gefördert und damit vergrössert sich der Analphabetismus. Viele der Schüler und Schülerinnen verlassen nach der 6. Klasse die Schule, um als Handlanger oder Hausangestellte zu arbeiten." |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseRobert Kleemaier (asker): 10:29pm Feb 9, 2004: omission - Sorry, folks; a bit too quick off the draw. Just need a quick reminder whether this term is the equivalent of "Grade 6" in the US/Canada. I know there's a two year difference between the Netherlands and here, but I'm running out of time...
Eckhard Boehle: 11:04pm Feb 9, 2004: Is this text talking about Germany? After the "6. Klasse" normally nobody leaves school because of "Schulpflicht" (compulsory school attendance), leaving school after 10 grades doesn't mean working as labourer or domestic servant! Sounds like outside EU. -
Robert Kleemaier (asker): 11:11pm Feb 9, 2004: Dear Eckhard - Indeed, this text is all about a Latin American country and a foundations attempt to improve the lives of the inhabitants of a hamlet. I have lived in Germany before and know this does not apply to the FRG.
